In today's times of state licensure, I am afraid that ABC's future is
changing. I will not argue that ABC practitioners are well respected and
have worked hard to achieve their level of distinction. But please keep in
mind that in states like Texas it is a state license that is required to
practice, not an ABC license. Does this weaken or strengthen ABC?
In my humble, not practitioner's opinion
