Are liquor stores open on New Year’s Day in Texas?

It happened with Christmas, and it’s happening again at New Year’s Eve. Of course, liquor stores are closed on Sundays here in Texas.

Though you can’t buy liquor, it gives staff some much-needed downtime as the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year.

“It happens a couple of times every couple of years and it’s great for employees to have two days off because we rarely get two days off in a row,” said Charles Leard, owner of M&R Liquor. “It’s great for me and the staff.”

Liquor stores also want to remind you to drink responsibly this New Year and make sure you plan on a sober drive.
