This page tracks 177 TABC-licensed venues in Waco, Texas that report gross mixed-beverage receipts to the Texas Comptroller each month under Tax Code §183.043. Across the trailing twelve months ending August 2026, these venues recorded $53.3M in combined liquor, wine, and beer sales — an average of $25,094 per venue per month.
The data above covers every permit type that owes mixed-beverage gross-receipts tax: bars and lounges, restaurants with bar service, hotels, private clubs, breweries with on-premise sales, and caterers. Numbers are sourced directly from the monthly Comptroller filing drop, which is published on or around the 20th of each month for the prior reporting period — so August 2026 is the most recent complete dataset available. We exclude in-progress months until at least 13,000 statewide filings have arrived to avoid showing partial totals.
