Sales of all alcoholic beverages sold in Texas are governed by the state's alcoholic beverage commission which issues licenses, collects taxes, inspects facilities, etc. There are probably differenct classes of license within the state, with the most common being the beer license. But most supermarkets (in "wet" counties) are able to sell both beer and wine within specific hours, while a more restictive policy governs sales of distilled spirits. Under "local option" provisions of state law, some counties have opted to stay "dry", and not even allow the sale of beer within their borders. But since the 1970's, most have gone "wet" to at least some degree, for the tax revenue generated.
Just don't get thirsty on a Sunday morning.... ain't gonna find an ounce of alkie for sale anywhere in the state (except in the form of cough syrup or mouthwash).
