Some blue laws still remain active, mainly related to alcoholic beverage sales. Blue laws vary from state to state, and sometimes within a state between counties and municipalities. For example, in [[Texas]], state law prohibits beer and wine sales on Sundays before 10AM, and liquor sales in their entirety. (Texas also has a blue law pertaining to automobile sales: dealers can open on either Saturday or Sunday, but not both. The majority of dealers close on Sundays.)
