When is TDLR authorized to inspect a licensed establishment?

TDLR, or the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, is authorized to inspect licensed establishments during normal business hours. This allows inspectors to assess compliance with regulations and standards when the establishment is operational and can provide full access to inspect the facilities, records, and practices in place. Conducting inspections during these hours ensures that the inspectors can accurately evaluate the conditions of the establishment and verify that it is adhering to the required codes and regulations for safety and quality.

The other options would not provide a comprehensive basis for regular oversight. Special events may not reflect the usual operations of the establishment, while limiting inspections to weekends could allow for potential evasions of compliance. Additionally, a request from the owner would not imply a routine inspection schedule and could lead to selective transparency. Thus, conducting inspections during normal business hours is essential for maintaining industry standards and ensuring client safety.
