This section does not apply to a holder of a subsequent renewal of a manufacturer's license which was in effect on January 1, 1953.

(b) The county judge shall refuse to approve an application for a manufacturer's license if he has reasonable grounds to believe and finds that the applicant has failed to state under oath that it will engage in the business of brewing and packaging beer in this state within three years after the issuance of its original license in sufficient quantities as to make its operation that of a bona fide brewing manufacturer.

(c) In the case of a corporate applicant, the statement shall be sworn to and subscribed by one of the corporation's principal officers.
