Lubbock, largest 'dry' city in Texas, could lift ban on alcohol sales
Voters to decide whether wine, beer, liquor will be available in stores
By Betsy Blaney | The Associated Press
8:46 AM EDT, May 5, 2009
LUBBOCK, Texas - When Prohibition was lifted way back in 1933, Texas was a little reluctant to go along with the trend.
The state didn't repeal its own alcohol ban until two years later, and even then Texas allowed local governments to remain booze-free. While many areas to this day remain "dry," the biggest teetotaling town in Texas may be going wet on Saturday.
Voters in Lubbock will decide whether beer, wine and liquor will be available in stores around this town of about 210,000. For decades, Texas Tech University students and anybody else looking for a drink had to go to a quarter-mile patch of pavement that serves a handful of stores on the southeastern edge of town.
Lubbock has allowed by-the-drink sales of beer, wine and liquor in taverns and restaurants since the 1970s.
Those who favor expanding sales to include "package stores" say it's time the city shows some progressiveness, citing convenience, paying a fair price for alcohol and economic growth.
"We need to be on a level playing field" to compete with other cities for business, said Melissa Pierce, chairwoman of Lubbock County Wins, a political action committee pushing for the measure's passage. "If it doesn't happen now, it could be another 40 years before we talk about it again."
Opponents say quality of life will suffer in neighborhoods near the stores, underage drinking will increase and the city over time will become seedy. Brant O'Hair, co-chairman of the group Truth About Alcohol Sales that opposes the measure, said he believes most liquor "package stores" will go in poorer neighborhoods.
"The people who are most vulnerable in our society will be affected the most," he said. "Follow the money. It's the liquor lobby."
According to the most recent fundraising reports, Wal-Mart gave the largest single contribution, $25,000, to Lubbock County Wins. Last fall, the retailer contributed $50,000 to fund a drive to collect petition signatures to put the issue on the ballot. Most of the more than 60,000 signatures garnered were gotten in front of its stores.
Small contributors are funding the opposition group, Truth About Alcohol Sales, which raised more than $23,600 since January and spent more than $2,000 over the same period.
Other efforts to bring package sales into Lubbock in years past never could garner enough support.
Alcohol sales in Lubbock would benefit the city's economy, said Ray Perryman, a well-known Texas economist. He estimates that local taxing entities would gain $5.2 million in additional tax revenue each year if the measure passes.
"It makes sense for the area from a purely economic perspective, no doubt about it," Perryman said.
If passed, the measure will create more than 2,400 jobs and increase annual spending in Lubbock by $251.6 million, he said.
In 2006, city officials voted to annex The Strip, as the row of beer, wine and liquor stores along U.S. Route 87 is known, to increase sales tax revenue. That allowed alcohol sales within city limits but not throughout the rest of Lubbock.

What are the consequences to a retailer if alcohol is served or sold to a minor, or if a minor is caught possessing or consuming alcohol on the premises?
The retailer could have their license/permit to sell alcoholic beverages suspended for up 90 days, or even canceled. For a second offense, their license/permit may be suspended for up to six months, or canceled. For a third offense within a period of 36 consecutive months, their license/permit may be suspended for up to 12 months, or canceled.

If a person has been previously convicted of this violation, or the sale to a minor, a second violation is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000, by confinement in jail for not more than one year, or by both.
What are the consequences to a seller/server if they serve or sell alcohol to a minor?
An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $4,000, by confinement in jail for not more than one year, or by both.
Penalties for Minors
What are the consequences to the minor if alcohol is served or sold to them?

TABC Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 25, 2009
TABC Administrator Signs Order Granting Permits to Six Flags
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) Administrator Alan Steen has signed an order adopting the Proposal for Decision of the Administrative Law Judge granting the application for alcoholic beverage permits to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas.
The judge found, after a public hearing, that the "issuance of the requested permits and certificate does not adversely affect the safety of the public, nor will it adversely affect the general welfare, peace, or morals of the people or violate the public sense of decency."
The protestants in the hearing have 20 days after the order is entered to file a motion for rehearing with the TABC Administrator. If no motion for rehearing is filed, the order becomes final 20 days after the date the order is received by the interested parties. If a motion for rehearing is filed, the Administrator must consider that motion before a permit can be issued.
Background Information
The applications for TABC permits for Six Flags Hurricane Harbor and Six Flags Over Texas were received January 11, 2008. TABC conducted an investigation following receipt of protest letters to determine if the facts stated in the letters were sufficient to initiate an administrative hearing.
On August 12, 2008, TABC notified all interested parties that a hearing would be held on the applications before the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) administrative law judge.
The hearing began on October 14, 2008, in Fort Worth, Texas. Several members of the public spoke at the hearing, stating concerns that the sale of alcoholic beverages at these amusement parks would affect the safety, moral, and general public welfare. The hearing concluded on October 16, 2008, and the record closed on December 12, 2008, after the parties submitted written argument.
Administrative Law Judge Tanya Cooper's Proposal for Decision was signed on January 9, 2009. In her decision, she stated:
"Applicant has operated the amusement park where these Commission-issued permits and certificate are sought for several years, along with numerous other amusement parks similarly situated that serve alcoholic beverage choices, without any significant adverse effects. Applicant has existing procedures to effectively handle an intoxicated park guest should that situation arise. There was no evidence presented that Applicant has a history of operating this, or any of its parks, in violation of the Code."
"This proposed licensed premises is located in a area designated as an "entertainment district" within the City of Arlington. There are several other Commission-authorized licensed premises nearby to the proposed premises. Applicant has met all zoning and building requirements imposed by the Arlington City Council. The area is designated "wet" for alcoholic beverage sales, pursuant to a vote of Arlington residents. The amusement park is along Interstate 30, with no residences, churches, or schools within the restricted area around this park."
"Protestants' concerns, although understandable, do not rise to the level of an unusual condition or situation that justifies a finding that the place or manner in which the Applicant conducts business warrants a refusal of the permits and certificate sought based on the general welfare, health, peace, morals, safety, and sense of decency of the people. Accordingly, based on the evidence in the record, the Protestants have failed to show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Applicant's application should be denied."
On February 25, 2009, TABC Administrator Alan Steen considered and agreed with the findings of fact and conclusions of law and signed the order adopting the Proposal for Decision.
