SB 1355 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to liquor sales on credit by the holder of a distiller's and rectifier's permit to a wholesaler.

SB 1355 requires distillers and rectifiers (businesses with specific liquor permits) to provide invoices detailing liquor purchases to wholesalers within 30 days of delivery. Wholesalers must pay these invoices within 30 days of receiving the invoice, or the distiller may report the unpaid account to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. The Commission will maintain a public list of delinquent wholesalers and may deny permit renewals, transfers, or cancellations for permit holders with unpaid accounts under this section. This bill directly affects distillers/rectifiers and wholesalers by creating clear payment deadlines and linking permit status to timely payment of liquor purchases.
