In Texas, the sale of beer and wine in retail stores is allowed from 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, and from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday (technically until 1 a.m. Sunday morning). On Sundays, beer and wine can be sold from 10 a.m. to midnight. However, liquor sales are more restricted: liquor stores are only open Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and are closed on Sundays with no liquor sales allowed then. Bars and restaurants with an on-premises license may serve alcohol until 2 a.m. if they have a late hours permit but must follow similar time restrictions otherwise. Summary of when alcohol sales stop in Texas:
- Beer and wine in stores: stop at midnight Monday-Friday, 1 a.m. Sunday morning (Saturday night), and midnight on Sunday.
- Liquor in stores: stop at 9 p.m. Monday-Saturday, no sales on Sunday.
- Bars/restaurants: can serve later, up to 2 a.m. if late hours permit.
Thus, on Sundays, alcohol sales in stores stop at midnight for beer and wine, and liquor sales do not occur at all on Sundays.
