In Texas, the latest you can buy alcohol depends on the type of alcohol and the day of the week:
- Beer and wine can be purchased until midnight from Sunday through Friday, and until 1 a.m. on Saturday (which is technically Sunday morning) at retail stores and supermarkets.
- Liquor stores must close by 9 p.m. and are closed on Sundays. Liquor can only be purchased Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Liquor is not sold in stores on Sundays.
- Bars and restaurants can sell alcohol (including liquor) until 2 a.m. any night of the week if they have a late hours permit; otherwise, alcohol sales end at midnight Sunday through Friday and 1 a.m. on Saturday.
- On Sundays, alcohol sales in bars and restaurants start at 10 a.m. if accompanied by food service or noon without food.
So, the absolute latest you can buy alcohol in Texas retail stores is 1 a.m. on Sunday morning (for beer and wine), and the latest at bars/restaurants can be 2 a.m. any day, depending on permits.
