TABC in Galveston

[ManImBored]

Is TABC still at the Galveston terminal collecting tax on liquor brought back from Mexico? I haven't seen any posts about it in awhile, just wondering if it was still going on.

They just started back up recently. They were there when we debarked last Saturday.

Yes but only asking if YOU have anything to declare . There is no random selection for going through luggage . It is strictly voluntary to declare on your part .

I thought that TABC was given a list of people who bought alcohol on the ship. I guess just make sure to pack your booze before leaving the ship.

I don't mind paying the tax, just wanted to prepare for it if it was still there.
