Texas Liquor

Stay compliant with Texas liquor laws

Our liquor store POS system is designed to protect your business’ reputation,
prevent underage sales, and help you navigate Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC)
regulations.

Built-in age verification

Protect your liquor store and community from the threat of underage sales. Bottle POS prompts cashiers to use a speedy, secure ID scanner to verify that all your customers are of legal drinking age.

Tax compliance

Bottle POS makes it easy to charge sales tax, adjust tax rates, and view your sales tax reports to stay compliant with Texas’ alcohol tax codes.

Inventory tracking

Texas requires liquor stores to keep detailed records of their stock. Bottle POS’ advanced liquor inventory management simplifies this process and keeps real-time tabs on your stock levels.

Update: Texas SB 650

Texas SB 650, also known as the DeShawn Jagwan Act, requires most alcohol retailers in Texas to scan customer IDs electronically for off-premise sales. But there’s good news: liquor stores are exempt from this requirement.

So why bring it up?

Because even if the law doesn’t apply to you, electronic ID scanning still protects your business, helping you:

Avoid mistakes

Instantly check ID expiration dates and customer age without manual work.

Build a legal safety net

Electronic scans offer an affirmative defense if a sale is ever questioned during future enforcement periods (starting Sept. 2027).

Create a consistent policy

Whether you’re offering local delivery, using DoorDash, or running multiple locations, Bottle POS helps staff follow the same process every time.

Increase customer confidence

Show patrons that your store takes underage sales seriously — even if it’s not legally required.
