In case you missed it (like we did) Texans will be able to buy beer and wine a little earlier on Sundays starting in September.
In May, the Texas legislature approved House Bill 1518, which allows for sales of beer and wine to start at 10 a.m. on the Lord’s Day. Under current law, beer and wine cannot be purchased until noon in stores.

That all changes on September 1.
Though tubing season may be winding down by then, the change will make last-minute trips to stock up on drinks much easier.
Shiner Beer, based in Texas, reminded fans of the change in a tweet on Sunday.
“On May 28, the Texas House approved House Bill 1518 by a vote of 115-24. We can only assume the 24 naysayers have fully stocked fridges,” the beer company’s tweet says.
Just as a reminder, in-store liquor sales are still prohibited on Sundays.
