Screen a site's alcohol-permit eligibility before you commit
An instant, automated preliminary check of the distance requirements that most often decide whether a Texas location can hold an alcohol permit — with every measurement shown on an interactive map.
The flow, step by step
Enter the address
Type the street address of the site you are evaluating. We geocode it and locate the underlying parcel using county parcel data.
Confirm the parcel
The property boundary is drawn on a map so you can confirm the exact parcel before any measurement runs. Wrong parcel, wrong answer — so we make you confirm first.
Automated distance measurements
We search for nearby protected facilities and measure the distance from your site to each one using the measurement method that applies to that facility type.
Score and explanation
You get a visible score for each facility category and an overall result, with a plain-English explanation of every measured distance, its confidence level, and what it means.
What we search for
Texas distance rules protect specific facility types. A Location Check searches for all of them around your site.
Religious institutions
Churches, mosques, temples, synagogues, and other places of worship.
Public hospitals
Publicly operated hospitals near the site.
Public & private schools
Public and private schools, including their property boundaries.
Designated day-care alcohol-free zones
Day-care centers with designated alcohol-free zones.
Two measurement methods, applied correctly
Distance rules don't all measure the same way, and using the wrong method can flip a result. A Location Check applies the method that matches each facility type:
Door to door
Measured along the path from the front door of your business to the nearest door of the protected facility. Used for religious institutions and public hospitals.
Property line to property line
Measured in a straight line between the nearest points of the two property boundaries. Used for schools and designated day-care alcohol-free zones.
The interactive measurement map
Every measured facility appears on an interactive map with the measurement line drawn from your site, so you can see exactly what was measured, from where, to where. Each measurement also carries a confidence level:
- High ConfidenceVerified entrances or parcel boundaries on both ends.
- EstimatedOne or both endpoints were estimated from available data.
- Manual Review RecommendedThe result is close to a threshold or the data is ambiguous — a professional review is recommended before relying on it.
How the score works
Each facility category gets its own component score based on the closest measured facility of that type.
| Facility category | Measured distance | Component score |
|---|---|---|
| Religious institutions & public hospitals | 300 ft or more | 100 |
| 250 – 299.99 ft | 70 | |
| Under 250 ft | 50 | |
| Schools & day-care alcohol-free zones | 300 ft or more | 100 |
| Under 300 ft | 50 |
The overall score is the lowest component — never an average.
