Because in TX you should either be either back home getting laid or passed out by 2am. If you haven't accomplished this by 2am, then the night is lost and it's time to pack it in and try again tomorrow... |

Guess what? I live in a dry county which means alcohol isn't sold period....doesn't matter if it's Sunday or Friday, no alcohol for us (or surrounding counties either). I live in the heart of the bible belt... |

its usually not a state law its a county or city ordinance. and you can always go party somewhere else. the people who passed those laws had an nterest in mind when they did its not for you to always understand but if you live their and participate in the community go to the meetings and learn something. like it or not its politics and like I said before people live there so its their rules. |

That's how the Law is. Check this out for a better Overview. Its not just in Texas but all over the country with a few minor exceptions and variations.

You're lucky if you're in a county in Texas that allows even that. Where I went to college in San Marcos, TX, they closed the bars at 12 Sunday through Friday and at 1 on Saturday. I don't the explanation to exactly why they sell and serve alcohol the way they do in Texas. Sorry! |

State laws, Oklahoma is the same way. It's worse though the beer is only 3.2%. Most places in Oklahoma you can buy beer until 2am. I like florida better you can party until 6am if you want to . |

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) is notoriously strict. In fact, they have even been known to go INTO bars to arrest people for being intoxicated ("public intoxication", since bars are considered public space in Texas).
That said, there's after hours BYOB clubs in Texas as well. |

Laws made a long time ago. For example, where I live no alcohol is sold Sunday mornings until 1:00 pm. This law was passed like a century ago to keep people from going to church drunk. Re 9 pm & midnite, I guess they want people to stop drinking early enough so they won't have too much of a hangover the next day at work and be unproductive, costing employers $$.
Just a guess. |

Kansas is the same way, Liquor stores close at 11, Bars close at 2, and no liquor on Sunday (in most counties/cities) Alcohol is legal, but it is still controlled. |

a puritanical attitude towards vices persists to the present day. |

Right or wrong Texas is still in the Bible Belt and the churches have a lot of power. They want the stores closed until after church and they usually get their way |

Government made the laws to promote more safety on the roads and in bars/clubs. |

TX is a pretty close minded and backwards state, what do you expect? |
