"Texas Liquor Stores to Shut Down for Over 60 Hours During New Year Celebrations"
Texas liquor stores will be closed for 61 consecutive hours starting Saturday night at 9 p.m. through New Year's Day due to state alcohol laws that mandate closures on Sundays and certain holidays. This year, with New Year's Eve and Day falling on Sunday and Monday, the closure extends through Tuesday morning. While attempts have been made to change these laws, for now, Texans will need to plan ahead for their holiday celebrations. Beer and wine will still be available at convenience and grocery stores, which have different regulations.
