Texas has 5,153 active federal alcohol Basic Permits - 1,013 wineries, 332 distilleries, 1,665 importers, and 2,143 wholesalers. That is the 4th most of any U.S. state or territory.

What is Texas's per-capita permit rate?

Texas has 16.9 federal alcohol permits per 100,000 residents (U.S. Census Vintage-2023 population), ranking 37th by density. Per-capita rates are high in wine- and spirits-producing states with smaller populations.

Which Texas city has the most permit holders?

Houston leads Texas with 790 federal alcohol permit holders, followed by Austin, Dallas, San Antonio.

Are breweries included?

No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit, they operate under a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure), so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory is built from.

Where does this data come from?

The TTB FOIA "List of Permittees," published August 2026, public U.S. government data, reformatted without alteration.

Reading Texas's count-vs-density split

Texas holds 5,153 federal alcohol permits (#4 of 52 by count) but ranks #37 at 16.9 per 100,000 residents — count rank and density rank diverge on this state. Federal Basic Permits authorize FAA Act activity, not retail sale, and are not a substitute for the state ABC license.
