Wal-Mart appeals to US Supreme Court to challenge Texas liquor store law
Updated: Oct 12, 2020
On June 5, 2020, Wal-Mart filed its writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court based on its claim that section 22.16 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code-the law that prevents public corporations from owning liquor stores-violates the Dormant Commerce Clause and is thus unconstitutional. The 5th Circuit previously ruled against Wal-Mart's unconstitutionality claim, leading it to appeal to the US Supreme court.
