The Lone Star State is one step closer to instating an alcohol-to-go bill, but despite overwhelming support, including from Governor Greg Abbott, some Texans are still on the fence.
Allowing restaurants and bars to sell and deliver alcoholic beverages has been a tool to help businesses survive the coronavirus pandemic.
