Can Walmart sell liquor on Sunday in Texas?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

In Texas, the sale of liquor on Sundays is prohibited by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. This means that Walmart, like other retailers, is not allowed to sell liquor on Sundays. It is important to note that this restriction only applies to liquor, not to other types of alcoholic beverages such as beer or wine.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission sets specific regulations for the sale of alcoholic beverages, including liquor, in the state. These regulations are in place to ensure the responsible and safe consumption of alcohol. One of these regulations is the restriction on Sunday sales of liquor.

The specific rules regarding the sale of liquor in Texas state that it is only allowed from Monday to Saturday, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. This means that Walmart, along with other retailers, must adhere to these time restrictions when selling liquor.

While these regulations may seem strict to some, they are in place to control the sale and consumption of alcohol in Texas. This helps to prevent excessive drinking, underage drinking, and other potential issues that can arise from the unrestricted sale of liquor.

It is worth noting that the restrictions on liquor sales do not apply to beer and wine. Retailers, including Walmart, are allowed to sell beer and wine on Sundays in Texas. However, it is important to be aware of any local ordinances or regulations that may impose additional restrictions on alcohol sales in specific areas.

In my personal experience, I have found these regulations to be beneficial in maintaining a responsible and controlled environment for alcohol sales. By limiting the sale of liquor on Sundays, it helps to promote moderation and responsible drinking habits among consumers.

To summarize, Walmart, like other retailers, is not allowed to sell liquor on Sundays in Texas. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission sets regulations that govern the sale of alcoholic beverages, including liquor, in the state. These regulations are in place to ensure responsible and safe consumption of alcohol. While the sale of liquor is restricted on Sundays, retailers are still allowed to sell beer and wine on Sundays in Texas.
