Is CHL the only reason for the 51% distinction?

[atxgun]

Are there other areas of the law that take into account whether or not an establishment makes 51%+ of their revenue from alcohol sales or does that metric solely exist b/c of the CHL laws?

i thought some cities use it for their no smoking ordinances. Allowing for smoking in 51% establishments.

All alcoholic beverage retailers must post one of two firearms signs.

Is that a yes or a no?

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.

Yes.

Sorry, just had to do that.
