I'm trying to start up an operation in the Houston, Texas area and I'm looking for ideas for beer and wine service. I just got off the phone with Texas Alcholic Beverage Commission and was informed that to serve even just beer and wine I needed a Mixed Beverage Liscense (at $3076) plus a caterers certificate(at $541). This is way more than I want to spend at start up. My question is does anyone no of any loop holes? Can I have the client purchase the beer and wine, which I will pick up and serve for a corkage fee? Any ideas you might have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Randall
