chinookpilot77 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I realize texas allows samples, but as of yet, no on-site sales. Does anyone know if this is changing any time soon? Is there any legislation being talked about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnopooper Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yes, it hopefully will happen this year. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=83R&Bill=SB905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnopooper Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Of course, it is Texas so unless you own a fire-arms business out of state, Gov. Perry may still need to be reminded there are current Texas owned business's in his state that could still use a little less state regulations. In all honesty, I happened to meet Gov. Perry when I visited Garrison Brothers Distillery in Hye Tx last summer (while i was doing some home work). He was taking the tour. It does appear that Perry and Dan Garrison were once neighbors and are still friendly. Perry stated that if a bill came to his desk to help distilleries in TX he would sign it. https://www.box.com/s/9dhykali2kz278pmu8e2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnopooper Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Looks like SB 905 passed in the Texas House yesterday. Gov. Perry will have to veto the bill in order to keep this from happening. If he ignores the bill or signs it, new law takes place on 9/1/2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG Thermal Consulting Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Great news for all Texas distillers wanting to get started or expand!! Here's to many customer direction signs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drycreek Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Changed a few things regarding the permitting with the TABC, turns out I'm the first guy to file after the new law went in effect. Instead of a two week process, a sign must be posted giving notice of onsite alcohol sales for 60 days, Also notification letters must be sent to all property owners within I believe 300ft of the property line, (not dwelling). Additionally all distillers have to post a $7,500.00 bond with I believe the Texas comptrollers office to cover the onsite sales. I received my bond but never a notice for which address to send the bond. This is all new in Texas. Additionally, all onsite sales to the best of my understanding have to be commemorative bottles that are signed and numbered. A individual may buy up to two 750ml bottles per 30 day period. I'll know the full details once I have my TABC interview in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypnopooper Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 We met with the TABC last week and just posted our 60 day sign on Thursday. We had filed our DSP paper work the day before the federal shutdown, so we are spending our time and energy on state, Montgomery County and City of Conroe.

drycreek Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Did TABC take your application? I tried to apply and they wouldn't accept the application until after the DSP approval. By the time my DSP was approved we fell under the new TABC laws which put us out until November now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
