State Ruling on Medicinal Liquor Permits
Texas Attorney General William McCraw ruled that only bona fide drug stores may obtain medicinal liquor permits. A drugstore must be registered with the State Board of Pharmacy and employ a registered pharmacist at all times. The Liquor Control Board lacks authority to issue permits to drugstores not in continuous operation for two years. Temporary permit holders must submit a certificate of registration before a permanent permit is granted.
