Tell Your Legislators to Allow Spirit RTDs at Grocery & Convenience Stores

Texas law is outdated and restricts consumer choice. Texans deserve the freedom to buy ready-to-drink spirits where they already shop.

Why this matters

  • Modernize outdated law
  • Expand consumer choice
  • Support Texas brands
  • Fair, consistent regulation

What’s the Issue?

Texas law prevents ready-to-drink spirits (RTDs) from being sold in grocery and convenience stores — even though similar products like beer and wine are readily available.

These outdated restrictions limit consumer choice, harm Texas businesses, and no longer reflect modern shopping habits.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Quick Summary

  • RTDs exist today — the law predates them.
  • Consumers want convenience and clarity.
  • Texas businesses deserve a level playing field.

Why Would They Do That?

The current law dates back decades and was written before the existence of modern RTDs. While the marketplace has evolved, the statute has not.

This regulatory gap creates confusion, unfair competition, and unnecessary barriers for Texas consumers and producers alike.

What reform does

  • Aligns regulation with today’s products
  • Creates clear, consistent rules
  • Improves consumer access and convenience

What Texans Support

  • Greater consumer choice
  • Fair competition in the marketplace
  • Support for Texas distilleries and brands
  • Economic growth and job creation
  • Laws that reflect modern consumer behavior

Texans overwhelmingly support updating the law to allow spirit RTDs to be sold alongside beer and wine.
