Alcoholic Beverage Code § 61.46

Sec. 61.46. BREWER'S LICENSE: GROUNDS FOR DENIAL. (a) This section applies to any applicant for a brewer's license, including a domestic corporation or foreign corporation qualified to do business in Texas, administrator or executor, or other person. This section does not apply to a holder of a subsequent renewal of a license which was in effect on January 1, 1953, that authorized the license holder to manufacture a type of malt beverage. (b) The commission shall deny an application for a brewer's license if the commission has reasonable grounds to believe and finds that the applicant has failed to state under oath that it will engage in the business of brewing and packaging malt beverages in this state within three years after the issuance of its original license in sufficient quantities as to make its operation that of a bona fide brewer. (c) In the case of a corporate applicant, the statement shall be sworn to and subscribed by one of the corporation's principal officers. Acts 1977, 65th Leg., p. 468, ch. 194, Sec. 1, eff.
