When my family first moved to Dallas, about 1967, there were no regular bars legal. One could belong to a private club where one could store a bottle of liquor and while at the club be served drinks from that. Or so I recall my parents saying. I was curious about that and found this article that prove Dallas remains strange to this day:

I recall that when I lived in Maryland for a period in the early 1970s there was some issue with laws there, or maybe it was taxes, that made it worthwhile to cross into a neighboring state to purchase beer or wine. Can't really remember what that was about. |
I just looked up wet/dry counties in Texas. I am more confused than ever.
