Edit: this article has the following statement from the TABC:
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code does not contain language specifically requiring businesses to check the License to Carry of patrons who choose to carry handguns into a TABC-licensed establishment. However, under Sections 11.61(e) and 61.71(f) of the Code, businesses could lose their liquor license or permit if an unlicensed handgun is brought onto the premises. Ultimately, how business owners choose to verify the licensed status of a person carrying a handgun is up to them.

(the statement "businesses could lose their liquor license or permit if an unlicensed handgun is brought onto the premises." is probably literally true because it could happen if the business knowingly allowed it, but the fact that this statement is omitting the knowingly is kind of weird)

Re: walmart asking for chl

We had a local news segment addressing Wal Mart managers asking a OCing persons for their LTC. They interviewed a TABC spokesman. He stated it was up to Wal Mart to insure that every exposed pistol was carried by a LTC holder. The spokesman said it was up to Wal Mart to enforce the regulation by any means they deemed fit. However, Wal Mart would be held responsible and their liquor license would be in jeopardy if they failed in their obligation.
