Harbormaster TABC Safe-Harbor File
For Texas clubs and adult venues that serve alcohol

The safe harbor, proved for the day.

Harbormaster keeps every seller's and manager's TABC certificate, the policies each has read, and every violation - and will not sign the affidavit worksheet for a violation unless the safe harbor held on that day.

Opens in this browser with an invented club already in it. No account, no email address, nothing installed. No Social Security number or birth date is ever kept.

The problem

One lapsed certificate sinks the harbor.

TABC lets a violation by a server stay off the licence only if everyone who sells and their managers were certified within 30 days, everyone read the written policies, and there were fewer than three violations in 12 months. After a violation, the owner swears to it.

Will not sign a worksheet the facts do not support.

Not a reminder. Sign refuses, naming the person, if on the violation's date anyone was past 30 days without a certificate, a certificate had run out, someone had not read the policies, the seller was an owner or uncertified, or three violations fell in 12 months. Every certificate is kept, so an old worksheet is judged on its own day. There is no override.

How it works

Certify, read, prove

Record each certificate

Within 30 days of hire, and each renewal - never overwritten.

Record the policies read

The day each employee read the written policies.

Prove the day

When a violation happens, the worksheet shows whether the harbor held.

What it will never do

It keeps the dates. Never the SSN.

Harbormaster holds names, roles and dates.

No Social Security number, no birth date.TABC takes those on the affidavit itself.
It files nothing with TABC.It is the worksheet behind your affidavit.
It trains nobody.Your staff take a TABC-approved course.
It is not legal advice.It is the record and the gate.

Monthly, per venue. Your bank statement says Harbormaster Software. Your licence key is on your screen as soon as the payment confirms.

Pay by card through Square, on Square’s own checkout page — we never see or store your card number. Or pay with bitcoin through our own bitcoin server. Either way you come back here, type your business name, and your licence key is on the screen — no email, no waiting on us.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Does it keep Social Security numbers?

No. TABC asks for them on the affidavit itself; Harbormaster never holds them.

What if a certificate is renewed?

The new one is added beside the old. A worksheet for an earlier day is still judged on what held that day.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is the record and the gate in front of the affidavit.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

One seller is 45 days in with no certificate, one certificate ran out last month, and one employee never read the policies.
