Relating to the possession and consumption of wine on the premises of a mixed beverage permittee.
HB 2793 allows bars and restaurants with mixed beverage permits in Texas to sell wine and malt beverages under 24% alcohol for on-premise consumption, and permits customers to bring their own wine to consume on the premises. The bill explicitly authorizes these businesses to charge a corkage fee for wine consumed under this provision. It also clarifies that permittees may possess wine covered by supplier invoices, with exceptions for the new BYO wine policy. This directly affects licensed establishments and customers who wish to bring wine from outside sources. The changes take effect September 1, 2025.
