Meet the CEO of Gerald Franklin Agency...

When it comes to navigating the complexities of Texas liquor laws, there is no substitute for inside experience. At the helm of Gerald Franklin Agency is our CEO, Richard Wills—a man whose career has been defined by service, integrity, and an unparalleled understanding of the TABC.

Before leading Gerald Franklin Agency, Dick served as a Regional Supervisor for the TABC, overseeing Licensing and Compliance. This means he doesn’t just interpret the rules; he spent years enforcing them and managing the very systems our clients use today.

Do you need a 60-day TABC Sign?

If you’re planning to open a new restaurant, bar, or distillery in Texas, your biggest hurdle isn’t just the paperwork—it’s the clock.

For locations that haven't held an active TABC permit in the last two years, you are legally required to post a 60-Day Sign prominently at your location. This sign notifies the public of your intent to sell alcohol and must remain visible for 60 consecutive days before your permit can even be issued. Our team at Gerald Franklin Agency can pull the history of your address to see if we can bypass the sign requirement altogether.

TABC Compliance Alert! It’s that time of year! If your primary TABC license was issued in 2024 or earlier, your 2026 Compliance Report is due via AIMS by June 30th.

Our team at Gerald Franklin Agency helps you navigate the AIMS portal every day to ensure your self-inspections are accurate and on time.
