AUSTIN, Texas — Even as restaurants across Texas are allowed to reopen in a limited capacity on Friday amid the coronavirus pandemic, those that have offered alcohol-to-go will be allowed to continue those sales, according to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

And, according to a tweet by Gov. Greg Abbott, that service may just become permanent.

Gov. Abbott tweeted "Alcohol-to-go sales can continue after May 1. From what I hear from Texans, we may just let this keep on going forever."
