Are liquor stores open on New Year’s Day? Here’s what Texas law says
In Texas, Sunday’s aren’t the only day liquor stores are closed but major holidays such as New Year’s Day as well.
That’s right, if you’re planning on visiting a liquor store over the New Year’s weekend, Saturday is the last chance to stock up. If going out sounds more appealing, Fort Worth has plenty of New Year’s Eve events planned.
Texas law prohibits the sale of liquor at stores on Sunday’s, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, according to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
In the case of Christmas or New Year’s day falling on a Sunday, liquor stores are required to close the following day in observance of the holiday. Since New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, liquor stores will close at regular hours on Dec. 31 and reopen on Jan. 3, 2023.
Liquor stores are open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday this week.
