TEXAS ALCOHOLIC BEVEBAGE COMIvIISSION
September 29, 89
DATE: 19
All District Supervisors
TO: _ _... ...Div...
_. _ .. .
Jeannene Fox, Director of Licenses & Permits Austif4))'°8>
FROM:.. _..
Senate Bi 11 537 colltc°)
SUBJECT: _ _......_ ....... _ .
I. This bill, which became effective in June, permits a county judge to delegate to
another county officer the authority to hear applications for licenses (including wine
and beer).
The bill amends Chapters 25, 26, and 61 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code by
allowing the county judge to file an order with the Commissioner's Court delegating
another county officer the duty to hear applications as provided by Chapters 25 and
26.
As county officer is not defined in this legislation nor any other, any person
employee county who is given this duty by the county judge and Commissioner's
Court will not De challenged by this agency.
II. A. Requirements
1. If the county judge chooses to invoke this section, he must give the
Commissioner's Court in writing such notice of delegating the duties to
another county officer and state their name.
2. Licensing in Austin must receive a copy of such order as well as the
district office keeping a copy for their records.
6. Special Items
I.	If, as	in the situation in Dallas County, the county judge appoints
	another	county	office holder such as the county clerk, each of the
	deputy	county	clerks also have the same authority as the r_lerk. This
	is due	to	existing provisions of the state statutes which gives
	deputy	clerks	the same duty, responsibilities and powers as the county
	clerk.		
2.	If the	county	officer delegated this duty has a "seal of office", as
	in the	case	of the county clerk, then an impression of that seal must
	appear	on the	application in the appropriate area near the person's
	signatur	e.	
3.	If the	county	judge appoints a county officer, as in the case of
	Walker	county	judge appointing his administrative assistant, which
	office d	oes not	have a "seal of office," no seal is required.
4.	If the	judge	changes the officer he previously appointed, a copy of
	such not	ice to	the Commissioner's Court must be sent to Austin.
5.	If the	county	judge revokes the authority in its entirety, a copy of
	such revocation	should be sent to Licensing.
6. If the county judge has appointed another officer, he may at any time decide
to hear a particular application.
e
Senate Bill 537 -2- September 29, 1989
Please note this law change applies only to beer and wine and Meer applications. The
waiver of notice required by Sec. 11.40 for liquor permits was not amended and still
must be signed by the county judge. Beer applications will be amended to reflect this
change.
A good example of this procedure and court order is attached.
III. Licensing Procedures
When processing applications for beer licenses or permits, the application processors
must review the signature. If it is anyone other than the county judge, ensure we
have a copy of the order specifying another county officer with that authority.
County Judge's order will appear on amended forms as below:

TO: ALL CONCERNED PARTIES
FROM: Lee F. Jackson, County 3udge ~,~ ~~.sti-
SUBJECT: Alcoholic Beverage Permits/License Procedures
The recently passed 5B 537 will enable Dallas County to
streamline the process citizens must follow to obtain
certain alcoholic beverage permits and licenses. Currently,
applicants make at least two trips to the County Judge's
office, as well as the County Clerk's office, Tax Assessor,
and Sheriff. This new law allows the consolidation of some
steps under one department.
County Clerk Earl Bullock has agreed to accept the
administrative processing currently conducted in this office.
The increased workload is minimal as any additional
activities are an extension of the work currently conducted.
My office will provide any training and on-going assistance
needed by the County Clerk's staff.
Attached is the court order approved and signed by the Court
effective as of August 1, 1989. All questions need to be
directed to the County Clerk's office at 214/653-7131.
