SAN ANTONIO – Alcohol-to-go sales can continue after May 1, according to a tweet Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent Tuesday night.
Abbott waived certain regulations allowing alcohol delivery from restaurants on March 18 as a way to help support the hospitality industry.

He announced Monday that the Texas stay-at-home order will expire and starting Friday, retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters and malls will be allowed to operate at 25% capacity.
The decision to keep alcohol-to-go sales alive sounds like it might be permanent.
