What's new.

Bar pages have always shown federal court history. They now also show Texas state and county records: district and county-court cases, evictions, environmental enforcement, and — often the most telling signal — county-clerk tax liens.

A tax lien that sits unreleased for years says more about an operator's health than most lawsuits do. One San Antonio bar had a state tax lien filed in 2018 that wasn't released until 2022; it closed the following year. That kind of history was invisible before, because it never reaches the federal courts.

Two things we're careful about. Courts index a business by its legal name, not its sign — so we resolve each bar's registered entities first and search all of them, including the other counties a chain operates in. And we only count a case when the business itself is named: a lawsuit against someone who merely shares a surname with the owner is not a mark against the bar, and we'd rather miss one than publish a wrong one.

Each section shows when it was last checked. If a county's records were unreachable on the last run, we say so plainly rather than showing an all-clear we can't stand behind. Pro members can refresh any bar's records on demand.

Clicking the statewide sales figure in the live ticker on the homepage now opens a quick popup with the last 12 months of statewide mixed-beverage sales — monthly gross, number of reporting bars, and month-over-month change — without leaving the page. A link to the full bars view is still one click away inside the popup.

• Every product registrant on the TABC catalog now has a dedicated profile page. Open /registrant/sazerac as an example — you get the full back-catalog of approved beer, spirits, or wine for that manufacturer, sorted by approval date, with the actual label artwork on each card.
• Useful for distributors deciding which producers to take on, for operators eyeing which lines are about to land in Texas, and for anyone tracking what a brand portfolio actually looks like in this state — not what marketing claims.

• Every bar profile’s health page now carries a clear A–F letter-grade badge on the most recent inspection — 90+ is an A, 80–89 a B, 70–79 a C, 60–69 a D, anything lower is an F. No more squinting at raw scores to figure out what they mean.
• The grade math is uniform across every jurisdiction we have inspection data for, so you can compare a Houston spot to an Austin one without translating each city’s scoring quirks in your head.

• The top bar used to push out every section as its own link, which got hard to scan once the site grew. The most-used destinations stay front and center; everything else now lives behind a tidy More ▾ dropdown.
• Mobile users get a cleaner header with fewer wrapping rows, and desktop users no longer scroll horizontally to find a section.

• /labels — a fresh public catalog of every TABC-approved beer, spirit, and wine for sale in Texas. Filter by type. Browse the last 5 years. Click any product to see the registrant, ABV, federal TTB COLA number, and approval date.
• /labels/new — “what just hit Texas shelves” for the last 30 days. Updated monthly from the TABC AIMS live feed.
• Coverage spans the pre-Sept-2021 archive (~284,000 historical approvals from data.texas.gov) and the live AIMS feed since then. Every product carries a TABC permit ID, so the catalog will surface on brewery/distillery/winery profile pages too.

• Save to watchlist button is back on every bar profile. Logged-in users can save a bar in one click and see it on their dashboard; logged-out visitors get a sign-in prompt. The watchlist row now shows the bar’s street address so two bars with the same name are easy to tell apart.
• Email alerts now go out hourly. If you have an active alert subscription (TABC violations, pending permits, delinquent taxes, license changes), the worker checks every hour and emails you a digest at your chosen cadence (daily / weekly / monthly).
• New /taxes page with the estimated combined Texas mixed-beverage tax collected statewide each month, MoM and YoY change, and the top 10 counties by tax. The number combines the 8.25% sales tax on the total ticket plus the 6.7% mixed-beverage gross-receipts tax on alcohol receipts. The landing-page tile grid now surfaces this as a live tile.
• Faster Texas comptroller owner / company lookups (again). The punctuation-stripping owner search (e.g. “C & C Wings Inc”) was doing a full-table scan of every receipt row on every hit — up to 47 seconds under load. Now under 10 ms thanks to a new pre-computed search column.
• Cleaner traffic stats. Internal monitoring tools (uptime pingers, page-warming scripts) are no longer counted as “views” in the admin dashboard.

• New public page at /new-products lists every federally approved alcohol label heading to market — bourbons, wines, beers, RTDs, ciders, and seltzers, with brand, fanciful name, class/type, applicant state of origin, and approval date.
• Filter by category (spirits, wine, beer/malt, RTD/cider/seltzer) or jump straight to Texas-made products. Brand-name search + class filter on the page. Each row links to the original federal record.
• Distributors, buyers, and curious drinkers can now see what is about to land on Texas shelves before it shows up at retail. Refreshed daily.

• Pro members now get a Refresh public records & reviews button on every bar profile and financials page. One click re-pulls the venue's federal-court history, public rating, and review snippets on demand — useful when a case just closed or you want the absolute freshest read before a meeting.
• Pro plan: 10 refreshes per day. Admin: unlimited.
• If a CourtListener daily quota is hit, the badge correctly shows “Lookup pending” instead of falsely claiming a clean record — the nightly job picks it up the next morning.

• Each case in a bar's federal-court history now opens its own detail page with case name, court, docket number, filing date, nature of suit, and a link out to the public docket.
• The federal-court history card now also appears on the deep-dive financials page, mirroring the bar profile.
• First-time visits to a bar profile now fetch the venue's public rating and review count up front, so the chip is populated on the very first load instead of waiting for a refresh.

• Bar profile pages now check the operating LLC against public federal court records and surface the history right next to the audit-risk panel: total cases, currently open, wage-and-hour (FLSA) claims, ADA accessibility suits, bankruptcy filings, and the most recent case with court and date.
• Operators with a verified clean record — no federal lawsuits filed, past or pending — get a green badge on the profile. Most data sites only surface negatives; we surface verified absence as a signal too.
• Active wage-and-hour cases, bankruptcy filings, and open litigation push the audit-risk score up. Closed historical cases get a smaller weight.
• Lookups are on-demand when you open a bar's full financial page, plus a nightly top-up that fills in the highest-revenue bars first. Cached for a year per operator since federal filings don't change daily.

• Every bar profile now surfaces a reviewer-rating chip in the page header — “4.4★ · 20,485 reviews” — color-coded green for 4.5★+, amber for 3.5–4.4, and red below 3.5.
• A new Public reviews card on each profile shows the venue's headline rating, a recent reviewer comment, hours of operation, phone number and website — pulled together so you don't have to leave the page.
• New /top-rated-bars directory (statewide and per-city) ranks every venue we've snapshotted by reviewer rating, filtered to operational bars with 20+ reviews.
• The reviewer-rating snapshot refreshes on demand when you visit a profile that's overdue, and a weekly fill keeps the top-revenue bars current. Closed and permanently shuttered venues are filtered out automatically.

• Every named officer on a Texas TABC permit now has a dedicated page at /officers/<name> — portfolio receipts, every venue they're on file for, the entities they're an officer of, and sibling LLCs that share a different officer.
• Every registered entity that holds at least one TABC permit now has a dedicated page at /companies/<entity> — combined trailing-12 receipts, every permit on the entity, the officer roster, and Texas Secretary-of-State entity status (active / forfeited / in good standing).
• Both pages cross-link — pivot from the person view to the entity view in one click. Bar profiles now link officer names to the new officer pages and add a one-click “Company →” jump from the owner field.
• Commercial registered-agent services (filing companies that appear on thousands of unrelated entities) are filtered out so the explorer surfaces real operators, not paperwork shells.
• ~15,500 officer pages and ~44,800 company pages indexed via two new sitemap shards. Crawlable, no login required.

• Track every Texas venue currently under TABC review — before it opens. Statewide overview at /coming-soon, plus per-city pages (/coming-soon/houston, /coming-soon/austin…) and per-county pages (/coming-soon/harris, /coming-soon/travis…).
• Each row shows the applicant, trade name, full address, county, permit type, submission date, days in queue, and TABC review status (Received vs Pending – In Review).
• Refreshes daily from TABC public records and includes ~1,000 live applicants across 250+ city + county pages. Free tier — no login required.
• Pro alerts can subscribe to a city or county and get notified when a new application lands — perfect for brokers, beverage distributors, suppliers, and anyone scouting where the next neighborhood spot is opening.

• Every bar profile now shows whether the operator runs a single venue or a multi-outlet portfolio — “47 outlets statewide across 12 cities” — with a drop-down sampling of sibling locations and which ones are still active.
• Each profile also surfaces the venue’s official business classification (the NAICS industry code on file with the state retail-permit registry, e.g. 722410 — Drinking Places). When the classification is outside the food & beverage family we flag the mismatch so you can see when a permit is held by a parent that runs multiple business lines.
• New “permit active but state registry shows closed” alert: if the TABC license is current but the state retail-permit registry shows the outlet went out of business, the profile now calls it out with the closure month — a leading indicator of ownership changes and late surrenders.
• Backed by a refresh of the state’s full sales-tax outlet registry (~1.4M outlets, weekly refresh).

• Bars file two separate monthly numbers with the state — a gross mixed-beverage receipts figure and a sales-tax filing on the alcohol-only portion. The two should match on most months; when sales-tax filings come in materially below gross over multiple months, it’s the same pattern Comptroller auditors flag internally.
• Each bar profile’s Audit Risk card now shows the cross-check directly: “Sales-tax filings of $X vs gross of $Y over the last N overlapping months — gap of M%”, plus a new weighted signal bar.
• The site-wide Audit Risk score consumes the cross-check too: a bar with three or more flagged months in the trailing year picks up 4–6 points depending on how wide the gap is, in addition to existing delinquency, violation, reporting-pattern, and volatility signals.
• No new data was needed — both filings have been ingested for years. The signal was simply not yet folded into the score.

• Every bar profile page now surfaces the venue's most recent city/county health-inspection score directly in the License sidebar — with a color-coded chip (green ≥ 90, amber 80–89, red < 80) and a one-click link to the full inspection history.
• Coverage extends across every Texas jurisdiction we hold data for — San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, McKinney, plus Abilene, Amarillo, Arlington, Beaumont, Brazos County, Corpus Christi, Denton, El Paso, Frisco, Garland, Harris County, Irving, Lubbock, Mansfield, Mesquite, Nacogdoches, New Braunfels, Pearland, Wichita Falls, and Williamson County.
• If a bar has no matched inspection on record (out-of-coverage jurisdiction or a name we couldn't auto-match), the section silently skips — no placeholder, no clutter.

• The mobile geolocation button on /bars (and the landing page) is now labelled "Bars near me" and lives bottom-left in sky-blue so it doesn't blend with the orange Share button. Distances are shown in feet (e.g. "144 ft away") instead of meters.

• BoozeReports now builds out the full /bar/financials report for every mixed-beverage venue in Texas in the background, prioritized by trailing-12-month sales so the highest-revenue venues land first. Until today, only ~1,300 of the ~53,000 venues had been fully built; the rest were generated on-demand the first time a Premium subscriber asked for them.
• If you hit a venue that hasn’t been built yet, the page now finishes assembling itself in the background while you wait — no more long page loads, no more “couldn’t pull the full report” errors when the request times out.
• During brief database write windows (a normal part of running on a small cloud tier), the report is now cached at the edge so it still renders for you even if the database is busy. Everything reconciles when writes resume.

• Each /bar/financials profile now opens with a short, neutral note explaining how this venue stacks up against typical peers in the same city — revenue context, peer comparison, and the valuation range, all in two sentences.
• Generated once per data refresh and cached, so the page still loads instantly. Hides itself silently on profiles that don’t have a note yet.

• On a phone, open the /bars page and tap the new floating button. We use your phone’s GPS to find the TABC-licensed venue you’re currently in (or the two or three within about 75 m) and take you straight to its sales, permit, and audit-risk profile.
• Location requires a precise fix (under 200 m) and never leaves your device beyond the single lookup — coordinates aren’t logged and the response is private, no-store.
• Texas-only: lookups outside the state are rejected with a friendly message instead of a stale guess.

• Top ▾ is now rankings only — performers, cities, counties, violators, fines, worst performers, monthly drop.
• More ▾ groups directories (Categories, Chains, Map, New permits, Health scores, Occupancy) and tools (Search, Compare, Violations, Delinquent, Audit risk, API).
• PRO badges only show on pages that actually gate non-Pro users. /licenses doesn't anymore — free users can browse it.

• The bar profile hero now shows the single highest monthly filing in the bar's entire history (not just trailing-12), so you can immediately see how the current 12-month run compares to the lifetime ceiling.
• Useful for spotting bars that have peaked and are coasting, and ones that just hit a new high.

• New Revenue per seat row on every bar profile that has both occupant-load and sales data: takes the 12-month average monthly receipts and divides by the fire-marshal occupant load. Higher = more revenue extracted per allowed person.
• Top-10 leaderboard plus median and average added to /occupancy so you can see which venues earn the most per occupant across the city.
• Sanity filters applied so storage-room records and tiny office CoOs don't pollute the rankings.

• New /health-scores page: every inspected food establishment (restaurants, bars, food trucks, cafés, delis) ranked by latest score. Filter to Excellent (90+), Needs work (80–89), or Failing (<80) with one click. Search by name or ZIP, paged 50 at a time.
• Click any row to open a dedicated facility page with the full inspection history, score trend chart, and best/worst/average stats.
• Bar profiles now show a Health score chip in the License card and a Health inspections table below — click through to the venue's full history.
• Launched with Austin coverage today. More Texas cities rolling in behind the same surface.

• Bar profiles now show the venue's operating occupant load — the max persons the fire marshal allows in the building, pulled from the most recent annual operating permit at that exact address.
• Fixed a class of false-positives where we were showing the building shell's occupancy instead of the bar's. The number is now the bar's actual operating capacity (Slackers on Rector → 360, not 32).
• Powers more accurate financial estimates: rent / sqft / labor / everything that scales with how many people can fit through the door.
• San Antonio first; other major Texas cities behind it.

• On the Texas map page, clicking a ZIP code polygon now shows the bars in that ZIP in-place in the side panel, ranked by latest receipts. The page no longer jumps you somewhere else.
• A “Back to ZIPs” button returns to the full ZIP list.
• The owner page header no longer overlaps the page content.

• Owner pages now list non-MB permits (package stores, wine & beer retailers, off-premise license types) so portfolios aren’t empty for operators who don’t file mixed-beverage receipts. Liquor-store-only owners that previously rendered as a blank profile now show their full permit list with a “Non-MB permit” tag next to each off-premise venue.
• New per-venue contribution chart sits next to the combined-receipts chart and shows which venue drives the portfolio. Bars are ranked by lifetime revenue share so concentration risk (one venue carrying the whole operation) is visible at a glance.

• Filter the delinquent roster by city, county, ZIP, or name/owner — the table narrows instantly as you type.
• Every column header now sorts ascending/descending with a click, including the “Since” date.
• The four KPI bubbles at the top are now real numbers from the live data — current count, counties affected, median months on the list, and top city — and each one opens a detail view (county breakdown, full county list, days-on-list histogram, top-10 cities).
• The Texas map button drills into ZIP-level detail when you click a county.

• Bar profiles now show “sibling entities” — other LLCs that share an officer or manager with this one. Quick way to spot multi-venue operators that don’t reveal a parent company on TABC paperwork.
• On the license card of every bar profile, a new “Sibling entities” section expands to show up to ten other Texas venues whose filings name the same officer or manager. Each row links straight to the sibling’s profile and tells you which person connects them.
• Owner pages get a matching “Related entities” card listing the LLCs / corporations across this operator’s network — useful for portfolio research, lender diligence, or just figuring out who really runs the place.
• Commercial registered-agent services and individuals attached to thousands of unrelated filings are filtered out so the connections you see are meaningful.

• /compare now has SEO URLs and shows both bar names instantly, before charts finish loading. Compare links are now in the form /compare/<bar-name-city-permit>/<bar-name-city-permit> — readable, shareable, and indexable.
• Old ?a=&b= links keep working — they now permanently redirect to the new SEO path, so existing bookmarks and shared links don’t break.
• Both bar names render in the picker the moment the page loads — you no longer wait for a JavaScript fetch to finish before seeing which two bars are being compared.
• The seasonality table no longer shifts column widths when one bar has fewer months of data; missing months render a clean “—” placeholder in a fixed-width cell.

• The Delinquent Taxpayer list page now loads real data and visualizes it. Previously the page rendered mock rows; it now hydrates from the live Comptroller posting on every visit.
• Two new bar charts at the top of the page: the top 10 counties by delinquent bar count, and the top 10 cities. Hover any bar to see the exact count.
• A new Texas delinquent map button opens a full-state choropleth shaded red by how many bars are on the delinquent list in each county — same modal pattern as the audit-risk and violations rankings.
• The hero KPI and digest line both reflect the current count instead of stale placeholder numbers.

• Bar profiles now show the TABC Red/Blue sign classification (restaurant vs bar by food revenue), and a “In business since YYYY” badge for legacy operators — useful when sizing up establishments that have been around for decades.
• RED sign means the operator must run as a restaurant with at least 51% of revenue from food. BLUE means alcohol is the primary draw. The chip appears in the hero next to the existing permit and category badges, only when the official classification is on file.
• The license card now includes the original year the permit was first issued — distinct from the most recent renewal date. Operators issued before 1990 also get a small “Legacy bar” tag.

• Compare two bars side-by-side with overlaid charts, quarterly growth comparison, seasonality table, and a verdict line — built for sizing the gap between any two operators. The compare tool now opens with a “who is winning right now” verdict line that calls out who’s ahead on trailing-12-month receipts and year-over-year growth in plain English.
• The two single-bar revenue charts have been replaced by a combined overlay chart: both bars on the same axes, hover any month to see both values, the MoM change for each, and the month label.
• A new 4-wide head-to-head metric grid stacks the two bars on TTM total, average monthly receipts, latest month, MoM%, YoY%, the 12-month low/high months, months reporting, and a beverage mix donut (liquor / wine / beer).
• A QoQ growth comparison chart shows the last four quarters side by side, and a seasonality table breaks out average receipts by calendar month with green/red highlights for which bar wins each month.
• A license & venue info table compares permit number, owner, address, county, all-time revenue, delinquency, audit risk, and peer rank in one place. Mobile collapses the grid to one column and the seasonality table scrolls horizontally.

• County pages now show how each market compares to the statewide consumption trend — outperformers vs. laggards become obvious at a glance. The 12-month receipts chart on every county page now overlays the Texas statewide consumption trend as a dashed reference line, and the page calls out whether the county is outperforming, lagging, or tracking the market.
• Statewide trend chip on the homepage. The receipts KPI on /bars now carries a small market-trend stat so the headline numbers always come with the question they should be answering: is this growth real, or is it just riding the tide?

• Texas map button, everywhere it helps. The audit-risk, delinquent, top-violations, top-fines, top-performers, monthly-drop, cities, and categories pages each now have a “Texas map” button near the top that opens a fullscreen choropleth shaded for that page’s metric.
• Same map idiom across the site. Hover any county for the page’s key number; click into /counties/<name> for the deeper drilldown. Map libraries only load on first click, so the rest of the page stays fast.
• Color and feel match the rest of BoozeReports. Amber/brown choropleth, no overlay until you ask for it — the page stays a page, the map is one tap away.

• License coverage map. The /licenses page now opens with a Texas choropleth shaded by active permit density. Hover any county for live counts of active, pending, and recently issued permits; click to zoom into ZIP-level density and filter the table to that ZIP in one move.
• New permits chart on every county page. Below the receipts trend, every /counties/<county> page now shows a 12-month bar chart of newly issued active permits — so you can see at a glance whether a county is in expansion or consolidation.
• Faster pages overall. The /bars and /counties/<county> pages are now cached in memory after their first build, so repeat visits are sub-second instead of running their full query fan-out every time.

• Monthly Drop archive KPIs are now clickable. The four headline numbers at the top of /monthly-drop open drill-downs — every filing month with bars + statewide gross, a year-by-year bar chart of cumulative receipts, the latest month's top five movers, and how far back the archive reaches.
• Per-month drop KPIs are now clickable too. On any /monthly-drop/<month> page, the four bubbles open the full top 25 gainers, top 25 decliners, top 25 new openings, and top 25 silent closures — not just the 10-row preview that's still shown below.
• Monthly Trends table now matches the active range. Click 12M and the table below the chart shrinks to the latest 12 months. Pro members can switch to 24M or 5Y and see those exact rows.
• Table headers and body now share fixed widths via colgroup and a fixed table layout so the column ruler stops drifting at narrower widths.
• 24M and 5Y trend ranges are gated to Pro. Non-premium visitors see a PRO badge on those buttons; clicking either opens the pricing page with the relevant feature anchor.

• Month-over-month and year-over-year columns are now shown next to revenue on the counties and cities indexes — color-coded green/red and sortable like every other column.
• Table headers now line up perfectly with their data on both indexes. Header and body cells share fixed widths so the column ruler doesn't drift as page width changes.
• County and city detail pages now pull the “Vs other” comparison strip from live data instead of placeholder examples — every value reflects the latest complete filing month.
• Hero choropleth tooltips now show MoM and YoY for each county on hover (when comparable history exists), and say “No bars filing this month” for counties with no current data instead of misleadingly reading “$0”.
• KPI bubbles on city and county detail pages now have a clearer hover state so it’s obvious they open a drill-down.
• Top-bars MoM/YoY column renders an em-dash with a hover hint when a bar's first filing is too recent for the comparison — no more blank cells.

• Audience cards on the landing page now speak directly to real estate investors, commercial brokers, operators & hospitality groups, and researchers & distributors — with the diligence, comp, benchmarking, and market-research workflows each one actually runs.
• County heatmap hover on the homepage now hints “click for full county details” on every county so it’s obvious the tiles are tappable.
• Pricing page expanded with the features we’ve shipped this season — audit-risk score on every bar, AI briefings, the compare tool, property & rent estimates in the 7 enriched metros, the Monthly Drop archive back to 2015, choropleth drilldowns, owner portfolio profiles, 30+ category leaderboards, sortable tables and chart tooltips, and daily email triggers on saved bars. The side-by-side plan table now reflects all of it.

• Filter bar added to every statewide ranking page — Top performers, Biggest gainers, Biggest decliners, Top violations, and Top fines. Narrow any list to a city, county, ZIP code, or category (sports bar, cocktail bar, brewery, etc.).
• Filters AND together, so you can ask “biggest gainers among Sports Bars in Harris County” or “top fines paid in ZIP 78704.”
• Shareable URLs — the filter values are reflected in the query string so a narrowed leaderboard can be sent to a teammate or bookmarked.
• Bigger result pool when filtered so a narrow geo still returns a meaningful top-N list (the underlying fetch is widened from 25 to 50–100 rows when any filter is active).

• Peer comparison line overlays this venue against the category-county average so you can see who’s pulling ahead month over month.
• Rank cards show where the venue sits across city, ZIP, county, and statewide — including the “top X%” percentile.
• Beverage mix donut for the last 12 months at a glance — liquor, beer, and wine shares with totals in the legend.
• Quarter-over-quarter growth bars highlight every up/down quarter relative to the previous one.
• Seasonality bars average each calendar month across all available history, with the venue’s long-run average drawn as a dashed reference line.
• Best / worst month markers are now annotated directly on the sales-history chart so the standout months read at a glance.

• Hover any point on the statewide monthly-trends chart to see the exact figure and month label. Previously some points were static.
• Trailing-average reference line now overlays the statewide trend chart — a dashed line at the 5-year (or 24-month / 12-month, depending on the range you pick) average so each month is instantly comparable to its long-run baseline.
• Bar analytics chart now also draws the venue’s 24-month average as a dashed reference line, making boom and slump months obvious at a glance.
• City, county, owner-portfolio, and bar-profile charts already had peer-average overlays — verified each is still working.

• Click any county on the violations map to zoom in. The county now reveals its ZIP-code boundaries shaded by violation density and a pin for every venue with violations in that county.
• Click a ZIP to zoom further: the map fits to that ZIP and the pin list narrows to only the bars inside it.
• Hover any pin for the venue name, total violations, and the date of the most recent violation. Click to jump to that bar’s violations page.
• Breadcrumb navigation at the top-left of the map (Texas › Harris County › 77007) — click any level to zoom back out one step.

• New filter bar across the top of the licenses table: filter by city (with autocomplete), county, ZIP, permit type (MB / RM / BG / BQ / BP / B / D / P and friends), and status (Active / Pending / Expired / Canceled / Suspended). Owner / officer search remains and AND-combines with the rest.
• KPI bubbles are now clickable. Active permits, Pending, Expiring 30d, Newly issued 30d, and Canceled 30d each open a popout with the top 25 records, ordered by the metric (e.g. soonest expiration first), each row linking straight to the bar profile.
• Status badges now color correctly — green for active, amber for pending, red for canceled/suspended, gray for expired — and an expired permit no longer shows as Active when the expiration date is in the past.
• Pagination + result count: a Showing X of Y counter at the top, Prev/Next at the bottom (25 per page), and a one-click Clear filters button.
• Sort works on every column. Click any column header to sort ascending or descending, with an arrow indicator on the active column. The Type column header now also shows a tooltip with the full TABC permit-code legend.

• Every line chart and sales-history chart across the site now surfaces a hover tooltip pinned to the data point under the cursor — the exact month plus the value (and where applicable a month-over-month percentage and peer comparison).
• The dot under the cursor is highlighted as you sweep so you always know which month you are reading. Charts on the homepage, the all-bars dashboard, individual bar pages (all date ranges), city and county trend pages, owner roll-ups, and the compare overlay all share the same interaction model.
• No new clicks needed — just glide across the chart to scrub.

• The /map page is rebuilt in the cream-editorial design used across the rest of the dashboard: hero with eyebrow + display headline, a five-bubble KPI strip (counties tracked, monthly receipts, top county, bars indexed, statewide top bar), and a full-bleed choropleth of all 254 Texas counties shaded with the amber sequential scale.
• Click any county to zoom in. The map rescales to that county's bounding box and loads a ZIP-level density overlay shaded by monthly receipts, with the side panel switching to a sortable ranking of every ZIP in the county (receipts, bar count, or A–Z).
• Clicking a ZIP polygon jumps straight into Advanced Search filtered to that county and ZIP so you can see exactly which venues drove the density.
• A “← Back to Texas” button returns to the statewide view without a page reload.

• The /categories page now leads with a row of four interactive headline bubbles — Categories tracked, Largest category, Fastest-growing, and Most permits — matching the affordance used on /counties and /cities.
• Each bubble opens a focused detail panel: the full sortable category table (Categories tracked), the top-10 by 12-month revenue with the leading bars in that category (Largest), the top-10 by month-over-month change with the leading bars (Fastest-growing), or the top-10 by permit count (Most permits).
• Keyboard and screen-reader accessible; Escape closes; click-outside closes.

• The five headline KPI bubbles on every county page are now interactive. Click 12-mo receipts for a 12-month bar chart, Bars reporting for the top-20 leaderboard, Avg per bar for a revenue-bucket distribution, MoM change for a side-by-side compare with year-over-year, or Latest month for the next-release window. Each bubble has a discrete affordance and works with keyboard + screen readers.
• The MoM card now shows actual month-over-month change with year-over-year underneath (previously stuck at 0% on some counties when the YoY anchor month wasn't in the trailing 12-month window).
• The hero on a county page no longer slides under the top nav on mobile or wide viewports — the eyebrow and headline stay above the fold.
• Hovering a county on the Texas heat map (landing page) now reveals momentum vs prior month, share of statewide receipts, and the single largest-grossing bar in that county for the latest filing month — not just gross and bar count.

• The four headline numbers on the counties index page are now clickable. Counties tracked opens the full sortable list of all reporting counties with revenue, bar count, and average per bar. Statewide gross opens a 12-month bar chart of statewide receipts. Bars statewide opens a distribution chart showing how many counties fall in each bar-count bracket (1–9, 10–49, 50–99, 100–499, 500–999, 1,000+). #1 county opens a summary card with monthly gross, share of state, MoM change, the top single bar in that county, and the top-5 leaderboard.
• Each pop-out also includes a direct link to the relevant full breakdown — e.g. the top-county modal links straight into that county's detail page.

• Click any of the four KPI tiles at the top of a bar page — latest receipts, trailing 12, liquor split, or per-open-day — to open a detail view. Latest receipts shows a 12-month bar chart plus month-by-month MoM. Trailing 12 shows a year-over-year comparison once enough history is reported. Liquor split breaks out liquor / wine / beer dollars and shares with a 12-month trend. Per open day plots the daily run-rate and compares this bar to its category average.
• Hover the category chip (e.g. “Stadium / Arena”, “Sports Bar”, “Hotel Bar”) to see how many Texas venues are in that category, total trailing-12 receipts, average per venue per month, this bar’s rank inside the category, and the top venue. One-click jump to the full category list.

• Every KPI bubble at the top of a bar’s financial page now shows month-over-month context directly under the number — latest MoM%, latest vs average, estimated annual net, and blended valuation multiple. No clicks needed to see whether the latest filing is up or down.
• Click any bubble for a pop-out detail view. Annual gross opens the full 12-month chart plus a month-by-month table with MoM% for every row. Avg monthly shows the same with latest-vs-average highlighted. Net margin explains how the cost model is built. Acquisition range breaks out the three valuation methods (revenue multiple, SDE multiple, cap rate) and how they blend.
• Hover any point on the receipts chart to see the month label, the dollar value, and the month-over-month change — consistent with how the main bar page chart already behaved.

• Three new filters on the audit-risk dashboard — a ZIP code box, a county dropdown, and a city dropdown sit next to the existing name search. Pick any combination and the table narrows in place; the High / Medium / Low / Recent-change tabs still apply on top.
• Counties and cities populate automatically from the bars currently scored, alphabetical. ZIP filtering does a prefix match so you can type the first 2–3 digits and see a whole region.

• Every owner profile now opens with total portfolio revenue across all venues. The hero shows trailing-12-month receipts and venue count side by side, plus a prominent KPI card — you can see how big an operator is before scrolling.
• Portfolio brief is longer and covers more. It now describes geographic spread (cities and counties), the largest venue and its share of the total, average revenue per venue, the most recent month-over-month and year-over-year move, and the dominant category — or how many categories the owner operates across.
• Corporate owners with punctuation in their name now resolve correctly. URLs like /owner/levy-premium-foodservice-llc previously showed zero venues for taxpayers stored as “L.L.C.” in the source data; the slug matcher now strips punctuation on both sides of the comparison, and trailing-dash slugs are handled too.
• Hero no longer hides behind the top navigation. Owner pages now match the county-page padding so the title and eyebrow always clear the sticky topnav on first paint.

• Every county detail page now has a live, hoverable Texas map. It replaces the static outline that used to sit in the hero. Hover any of the 254 counties to see monthly receipts, bar count, MoM change, and statewide share; click to jump straight to that county's detail page. The county you're viewing is outlined in teal so it's easy to find at a glance.
• Bar profile “How they stack up” now shows real percentiles. Used to render dashes — now every bar profile reports its rank against city, ZIP, county, and statewide peers by trailing-12-month gross receipts. Format is “Top X% · #N of total” so you can tell at a glance whether a venue is a leader or a long-tail operator in each context.

• /monthly-trends is now its own page, not a redirect into /bars. You get a hero summary of the latest month, a five-year statewide receipts chart (with 12M / 24M / 5Y range buttons), and a full table of every complete month on record — total receipts, month-over-month change, and bars reporting.
• County names show everywhere instead of internal numeric codes. Top performers, biggest gainers / decliners, and the “Largest bars” table previously showed values like “101” or “108” in the county column on some pages. Resolution is now done server-side so the table cells, the bar profile breadcrumb, and the JSON used by the search palette all read “Harris” / “Hidalgo” / etc.
• The “New” tab under Today’s movers on /bars now populates. It surfaces the six largest establishments whose permit appears for the first time in the latest complete filing month, ranked by that month’s revenue.

• Easier to recognize a bar at a glance — the sub-line under each bar name on /performing-bars, /biggest-gainers, /biggest-decliners, /top-fines, and /top-violations now shows the venue's street address instead of its TABC permit number.
• Permit numbers still searchable — you can still find a bar by permit via the top-nav search; we just moved it out of the visual hierarchy where it wasn't pulling its weight.

• New cream-editorial design across every page — calmer typography, more breathing room, focus on the data.
• AI briefings on every page — statewide, top 30 cities, top 30 counties, and top 100 bars now each get a 2-sentence editorial summary, with a baseline fallback while AI is generating.
• 9 KPIs at /bars — Receipts, YoY, Bars over $1M, Avg per venue, New permits, Venues reporting, Pending applications, Behind on taxes, TABC violations. Each opens a drill-down on click.
• Per-bar peer comparison — Each bar's monthly chart now shows a dashed line for the average of its category in the same county, so you can instantly see if a venue is over- or under-performing.
• Search restored — /advanced-search has all the filters back (city, county, ZIP, owner, permit, min/max receipts, license status, delinquent, include archived). Pro-only filters now carry a clear badge.
• SEO-friendly URLs — /biggest-gainers, /biggest-decliners, /top-violations, and /top-fines now live at clean paths instead of ?mode= query parameters.
• Sortable tables — Every table sorts when you click a column header.
• Monthly Drop archive — /monthly-drop now lists every TABC filing month back to 2015. Click any month for top gainers, losers, new openings, and silent closures.
• Hover tooltips on charts — Every chart now reveals month + dollar amount when you hover over a point.
• Top-nav search works on every page — Type a query, press Enter, and you land on /advanced-search.
• Bar profile detail pages — New tabbed nav (Overview / Financials / Analytics / Violations / License history) shared across all per-bar URLs.
• Owner profiles improved — Real portfolio data, real combined-receipts chart, fixed Texas map, clickable officer cross-references.
