Texas HB4077 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to regulate the sale and sampling of spirit coolers by certain permit holders.

Texas HB4077 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to redefine "spirit cooler" as an alcoholic beverage with specific alcohol content and ingredients. It allows wine only package store permit holders to conduct free product samplings of wine, spirit coolers, or malt beverages on their premises. It also permits wine and malt beverage retailer's off-premise permit holders to sell spirit coolers for off-premises consumption only. The bill restricts the sale of certain alcoholic beverages on Sundays and after 10 p.m. on other days. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
