Texas permits out-of-state wineries with a TABC Direct Shipper Permit to ship up to 24 cases per calendar year (max 9 cases in any 30-day window) directly to consumers statewide, including dry areas for personal consumption under Tex. Alco. Bev. Code § 54.12. Spirits direct shipping is prohibited.

Annual Volume Limits
24 9-liter cases per adult per year (max 9 cases in any 30-day window)

CaskStack’s Pre-Allocation Validation Engine automatically audits orders against individual state limits before credit cards are billed.

Permit & Licensing

Shippers must maintain an active state direct shipper permit. CaskStack tracks expiration dates and warns 30 days prior to renewal.

Excise & Sales Tax Rates
$0.204 per gallon (table wine) (Excise) | 6.25% state + up to 2.0% local option (Sales)

CaskStack generates monthly state excise tax workbooks ready for 1-click export to state revenue portals.

Dry County & Precinct Rules
Statewide delivery authorized. Under Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 54.12, licensed out-of-state direct winery permittees may deliver directly to consumers across all Texas counties and dry areas for personal consumption.
