Relating to the delivery of alcoholic beverages by holders of a consumer delivery permit.

SB 245 restricts where retailers with consumer delivery permits can deliver alcoholic beverages. It requires deliveries to respond only to legitimate customer orders and limits delivery areas to within 50 miles of the retailer’s location, specifically within the same county, city/town, or a two-mile radius beyond municipal boundaries. This directly affects alcohol retailers holding consumer delivery permits who must comply with these geographic boundaries. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and modifies Texas’ Alcoholic Beverage Code to enforce these delivery restrictions.
