Is an eating establishment that in addition to selling food sells alcohol for on site consumption but is not 51% or posted 30.06 required by TABC to post the captioned blue on white sign? Wife and I belong to a dinner club (mostly lunch) went to a restaurant this past week with the club. There was no sign of any kind at the entrance and when we went inside there was a place to place your order before you sit down. At the order location there was a long metal canoe full of iced beer (sure would look good in the summer). Also at that point a lot of different beer on tap. At this point I felt uneasy and and took the gun to the car. This place is big and the food was excellent. To make a long story short before we left I asked an employee to please check their TABC license for blue or red. She did not know what I was talking about but she did look at it for about 15 seconds and came back and said blue. I did not check it myself because I did not have access to it. Sure would have been nice if captioned sign had been posted.

I did check Russell's 30.06 website before we left with negative results.

If they serve food then there is very little chance they derive 51% of their income through alcohol sales - carry on.

You can further eliminate by asking to see their license (which will clearly indicate it), or by checking this site: http://www.tabc.state.tx.us/PublicInquiry/Status.aspx

There is also a phone app Texas spirits.

Blue on the license means OK to carry there if no 30.06. They are legally supposed to have the blue Unlicensed Possession sign posted in a conspicuous location.

Don't they also have to post the liquor license?

Thanks Keith and everyone else. They did have the license posted but it was behind a counter and about 15-20 feet away.

This app is great. It is free. And accesses the TABC database so it is current. Search for a specific place or places nearby. Maps it out. Very useful.

Where can I find the app? Google Play doesn't seem to have it.
