Is that a yes or a no? :headscratch

If "food service is the primary business being operated on the premises" they can get a Food and Beverage Certificate. I believe that's the least expensive (non temporary) certificate/permit to sell alcohol for on premises consumption in Texas, so there's a financial incentive to get a FB certificate if they get most of their income from food. However, if they have other sources of income, it's possible to not be 51% and not qualify for a Food and Beverage Certificate.

The only place I see "51 percent" in the alcoholic beverage code was added by the CHL law, but perhaps srothstein can provide a more definitive answer.
