As Easter rolls around, it’s a time for gathering \u2014 and that can sometimes mean supplying the booze for a holiday brunch. However, if you’re planning on bringing some bottles, Texas law will have the final say on when you’ll have to make your run to the liquor store. Here’s what you should know.<\/p>\n
While there are specific laws banning liquor sales on holidays like Christmas Day, Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, no statute specifically restricts liquor sales on Easter. However, that’s likely due to redundancy rather than anything else, as liquor sales at stores are already banned in Texas on Sundays<\/a>. That means you’ll have to swing by the liquor store on Saturday, April 4, between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. However, other stores will be open for beer and wine if you need to make a last-minute stop.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that in Texas, beer and wine can be sold from 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday. On Saturday, beer and wine sales begin at 7 a.m. and end at 1 a.m., picking back up at 10 a.m. on Sundays. Texans\u00a0will have until midnight on Sunday to grab beer and wine.<\/p>\n Long story short, those looking for beer and wine on Easter Sunday can find it from 10 a.m. to midnight on April 5. However, specific store hours are the next hurdle you’ll want to clear, as many chains are closed or have adjusted hours.<\/p>\n H-E-B stores are closed on Easter, according to the grocery chain’s website, though they keep regular hours the day before. Additionally, Target,\u00a0Costco and Aldi will be closed<\/a> on the holiday. However, many Whole Foods stores<\/a> will be in business, with San Antonio’s two locations opening at 8 a.m. and closing at 6 p.m. that day. Trader Joe’s<\/a> will be open for regular hours on Easter Sunday, the chain announced. Walmart, Walgreens and CVS will also be open, though it’s always a good idea to check for special holiday hours before getting in the car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Easter rolls around, it’s a time for gathering \u2014 and that can sometimes mean supplying the booze…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235867,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1112,847,820,27,29,28],"class_list":{"0":"post-235866","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-mysafood","9":"tag-mysanews","10":"tag-mysastaff","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-texas-headlines","13":"tag-texas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235866\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
