Is this still the case? I can't find any details (outside snark) that actually explains what the rules are. Are drinks available in the Admirals Club or Centurion Lounge past Noon on Sundays?

Buying drinks past noon hasn't been an issue, buying them prior to noon on Sunday requires a food purchase or food to be served. In short, assuming the Admirals clubs or Centurion Lounge are operating normally, you shouldn't have an issue purchasing booze past noon on Sunday.

Right? There are people out there, great people I might add, wonderful people... where Sunday means nothing more than any other day. Not everyone works M-F and for some people Sunday is their Saturday, etc.

Mom's friends included a guy named "Trigger Mike" We lived on Montrose, just a few doors away from the 9th St Market, On the other end of the block was a 7 Up bottling plant.....Almost across the street from our house was a public pool surrounded by a wall. When that was closed, we often used a fire hydrant to stay cool in the summer. We referred to the barber as, "Joe the barber". What a neighborhood that was.

Reminds me of when I was a child in South Philly in the 60's. A block away, down a tiny street (like an alley) there was a PA state liquor store. It was across the street from the mob hangout, Palumbo's Restaurant

Edited to add: does the change mean that alcoholic PDBs are now legal in Texas before 1200 on Sundays?

I'm a vegetarian, but I don't expect the rest of the world to be either.

I remember this being an issue here in DFW when restaurants/strip clubs who lost/couldn't obtain their liquor license were legally able to just give booze away.

Do TX liquor laws differentiate between requiring a purchase of food in order to purchase liquor and the ability to receive liquor for free?
