Enrolled Bill Summary

Under previous law, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission or a county judge may refuse to issue or renew various alcoholic beverage licenses and permits if three, or in some cases two, years have not elapsed since a conviction or completion of sentence relating to a felony or certain other offenses. House Bill 2005 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to change the required elapsed time for all of these circumstances to five years.
