It’s now legal in Texas for beer, wine and mixed drinks to be included in to-go food orders.
One of the few silver linings to come out of a difficult year for Texas bars and restaurants — to-go cocktails — is now state law.
Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday signed a bill permanently allowing Texans to include alcohol in take-out food orders from restaurants. During the pandemic, Abbott introduced cocktails to-go as a temporary emergency order to help hospitality businesses endure the hardships of prolonged shutdowns.
