What is the new alcohol law in Texas?

The 87th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 1518 in the spring and it went into effect on Wednesday, Sept. 1. The law amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code which previously required grocery stores and convenience stores wait until noon to sell beer and wine.

During weekdays stores can sell beer and wine from 7 a.m. until midnight Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. Saturday until 1 a.m. Sunday.

The law only applies to beer and wine. Liquor is still not allowed to be sold on Sundays and liquor stores are to be remained closed on Sundays. Liquor sales are also prohibited on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s Day and before 10 a.m. or after 9 p.m. on any other day.

The bill does provide an exception for hotel bars to sell alcohol to registered guests at any time of day.

The Texas alcohol bans, often referred to as Blue Laws, date back to 1935 when lawmakers passed the Texas Liquor Control Act in response to the repeal of Prohibition.

This year Gov. Greg Abbott also signed a bipartisan bill making alcohol to-go sales legal in the state. The state had temporarily allowed the practice during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. R

Currently, spirit makers can't sell any bottle products on Sundays.

AUSTIN, Texas — During the next legislative session, Texas spirit makers want to see lawmakers make changes to help them grow their businesses.

According to a report from the Austin Business Journal (ABJ), among the changes industry leaders are seeking is the ability for Texas liquor producers to sell more of their products at their distilleries. Some spirit makers are also pushing for seven-day sales.

The ABJ reports that supporters say the changes would "provide a significant lift for distillery businesses and a hefty increase in state tax revenue."

Currently, Texas spirit makers can only sell two bottles per customer each month from their distilleries, and they can't sell any bottled products on Sundays. Additionally, liquor stores are closed on Sundays and grocery chains can't sell distilled spirits.

According to the ABJ, the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) recently produced a new report based on 2020 data that showed the impact the state's distilled spirits industry has had, with roughly 190 companies generating nearly $2 billion in total economic output and supporting nearly 5,000 jobs.

The UTSA report also noted that out of the more than $968 million in mixed beverage taxes collected by the state and local governments in fiscal 2020, nearly $43 million of that was tied to locally made spirits.

The next session of the Texas Legislature begins in January 2023.

TYLER, TX (NOTICIAS DEL ESTE DE TEXAS) - Un cambio en la ley estatal ahora permite a Texas comprar legalmente cerveza y vino en las tiendas a partir de las 10 am los domingos.

La 87.a Legislatura de Texas aprobó el Proyecto de Ley 1518 de la Cámara de Representantes en la primavera y entró en vigencia el miércoles 1 de septiembre. La ley enmienda el Código de Bebidas Alcohólicas que anteriormente requería que las tiendas de abarrotes y las tiendas de conveniencia esperaran hasta el mediodía para vender cerveza y vino.

Durante los días de semana, las tiendas pueden vender cerveza y vino desde las 7 a. M. Hasta la medianoche de lunes a viernes y desde las 7 a. M. Del sábado hasta la 1 a. M. Del domingo.

La ley solo se aplica a la cerveza y al vino. Todavía no se permite vender licor los domingos y las licorerías deben permanecer cerradas los domingos. La venta de licores también está prohibida el Día de Acción de Gracias, Navidad o Año Nuevo y antes de las 10 am o después de las 9 pm cualquier otro día.

El proyecto de ley establece una excepción para que los bares de los hoteles vendan alcohol a los huéspedes registrados en cualquier momento del día.

Las prohibiciones de alcohol de Texas, a menudo conocidas como leyes azules, se remontan a 1935 cuando los legisladores aprobaron la Ley de Control de Bebidas Alcohólicas de Texas en respuesta a la derogación de la Prohibición.

Este año, el gobernador Greg Abbott también firmó un proyecto de ley bipartidista que legaliza las ventas de alcohol para llevar en el estado. El estado había permitido temporalmente la práctica durante el pico de la pandemia de COVID-19 en 2020. R
