City Alcohol Permit & TABC

Contact the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) to begin the process and obtain a pre-qualification packet.  The pre-qualification packet must be approved by the City Secretary as well other county and state agencies.

To obtain the City Secretary’s signature on a pre-qualification packet, you may submit it by any of the following methods:

  1. Come in person to City Hall, 114 W. Higgins St., Humble, Texas 77338 (It is recommended that you call 24 hours in advance before coming to City Hall to ensure we will be able to accommodate you).
  2. Mail the packet to: City of Humble, Attn: City Secretary’s Office, 114 W. Higgins St., Humble, Texas 77338.
    • Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope for the application to be returned to you.
  3. Email a PDF of the packet to AlcoholPermit@cityofhumble.net. It will be electronically signed and returned to you via e-mail.

There is no fee for the City Secretary to sign the application.

Once the TABC process is complete, approved and you have been issued a permit by the State of Texas, the City will send you an invoice for the required city permit. Once paid, the city permit will be provided to you.
