What is the TABC?

This training is also commonly referred to as TABC certification. Individuals that successfully complete the TABC certification course are issued an official TABC certificate.
What is a “TABC certification”?
The Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission began certifying alcohol sellers-servers over 20 years ago. An official TABC certification is proof that you have completed an approved TABC certification program and that the TABC recognizes you as a certified seller-server of alcoholic beverages in the State of Texas. TABC recertification simply refers to the process of being decertified as part of the required continuing education and recertification process.
