Texans still can’t buy liquor in Walmart, after U.S. Supreme Court rejects bid

Texans still won’t be able to purchase liquor at Walmart, after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a bid by the retail giant that would have allowed the booze to be sold at stores in the state. Texas is the only state in the nation that does not allow publicly traded companies, like Walmart Inc., to obtain liquor permits — but they are allowed to sell beer and wine. Walmart claims the law is discriminatory and has argued that 98% of liquor stores in the state are owned by Texans.
