Local option election rules and beer amendment notes
The text outlines thresholds for local option elections on or after Aug 26 upon a petition by 10 percent of county precinct or city voters, with a 500 signature cap. It states concurrent ballots possible, and rules for counties wet or dry counties and precincts. It also notes the impact of a potential Texas beer and wine amendment on dry areas and prior votes.
Dry counties ban remains until county vote allows
The article notes that cities in dry counties that have never voted dry cannot be legalized locally until a county wide election approves the change. This rule enforces county level control over local option status, delaying any city by city approval.
