No. Liquor can only be sold at liquor stores, which close at 9pm Mon-Sat and are closed on Sunday. You also cannot ship liquor from another state. You can, however, import from another country. So if you want some rare bourbon you have to import it from overseas after it has been exported from the US. It's a real catch-22 situation. Or you can enter a lottery at a liquor store, which is often restricted to customers that spend a lot of money annually with that store.

Beer and wine can be bought at grocery stores, though on Sunday you cannot buy until at least noon. At 11:45 on a Sunday morning you will often see a few people waiting near the checkout with a cart full of groceries and a 12-pack.

It's stupid.

Which is really odd, since Texas is so liberty and free-market minded.
