TABC will hold an online stakeholder meeting on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, 10-11 a.m. CDT, on two drafts: a new rule implementing SB 650 (89th Leg.), which generally requires off-premises retailers and some on-premises retailers to electronically scan a purchaser's ID before an alcohol sale, and an amendment to Marketing Practices Advisory 027 on refunds, credits and exchanges.
