Stock up. Texas is always dry on Christmas Day and New Yearโs Day
HOUSTON โ If you are new to Texas, consider yourself warned. If liquor is part of your Christmas Day and New Yearโs plans in Texas, you had better stock up early. Texas state law prohibits the sale of liquor on Christmas Day, New Yearโs Day, Thanksgiving Day and of course on Sundays. Lawmakers made the Sunday rule in 1935 when the Texas Legislature passed the Texas Liquor Control Act after the repeal of Prohibition. State legislators then banned liquor sales on Christmas Day in 1967 and then later added Thanksgiving Day and New Yearโs Day in 1979.
