New Restaurant & Bar Leads Before They Open (Texas)

One new restaurant account can be worth thousands a year. This feed finds them for about 2¢ each, weeks before their doors open.

Every bar, restaurant, brewery, hotel bar and convenience store in Texas has to apply for a liquor license with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) before it opens. This Actor turns those official applications into a daily lead feed: business name, owning LLC, full address, county, ZIP+4, license type and application date.

Set it up as a daily lead feed

1. Choose your cities, counties or license types (or leave empty for all of Texas).
2. Keep Only new since last run on. Each run returns only applications you haven't seen.
3. Click Schedule → Daily. Then connect Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Zapier or Make, and fresh leads land in your tools every morning.

Runs with nothing new cost almost nothing, because you only pay for the leads you get.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? TABC's public open-data portal (data.texas.gov), which TABC updates daily. It's official public data, published for reuse. How early are the leads? Applications are filed before a permit is issued, so usually weeks to months before opening. Does it include phone or email? TABC doesn't publish them. Enrich the owner LLC with the Texas Secretary of State or Comptroller lookups, or with your enrichment tool. Can I get only bars and restaurants? Yes. Filter to license types MB and BG. Other states? More are coming. Request yours in the Issues tab. How do I stop getting duplicates? Keep "Only new since last run" on. Use a different dedupe store name for each separate feed.
