Texas Fee Interest Non Resident Manufacturer's License (BS) Bond
Overview
Getting licensed to sell alcohol in Texas as an out-of-state manufacturer requires more than paperwork — it requires a surety bond. Texas's Fee Interest Non Resident Manufacturer's License (BS) Bond is a state-mandated financial guarantee tied directly to this license classification. It tells the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) that you, as a non-resident manufacturer, will operate within the rules governing your license. Without it, your license application goes nowhere.
Who Needs This Bond?
Non-resident manufacturers seeking a Fee Interest Non Resident Manufacturer's License (BS) through the TABC are the principals on this bond. If your manufacturing operation is based outside of Texas but you hold or intend to hold a fee interest in a Texas alcohol license, this bond is required for you. It applies specifically to out-of-state entities entering the Texas market under this license classification — not to in-state breweries, distilleries, or wineries operating under different TABC license types. If TABC told you to get this bond, you are the right applicant.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the state of Texas and the TABC against losses caused by a non-resident manufacturer's failure to comply with the conditions of the BS license. It is a financial backstop — if you violate the terms of your license, the bond provides a mechanism for the state to recover damages. It is not liability insurance for your business operations; it is a compliance guarantee that you stand behind your legal obligations under the TABC's licensing framework. The TABC is the obligee, and the bond holds you accountable to them.
When is it Required?
Applying for a Fee Interest Non Resident Manufacturer's License (BS) through the TABC is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. You cannot complete the application process or receive the license without filing this bond. It must be in place before the license is issued, and it must remain active for as long as you hold the license. Renewal of your license will also require a current, valid bond — a lapsed bond puts your license at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Texas requirement administered by the TABC. It applies anywhere a non-resident manufacturer holds a fee interest in a Texas alcohol license under the BS classification. There is no city- or county-level variation — this is a TABC-issued license with uniform statewide requirements.
