Local business-owner petitioning for liquor-store election in Burleson
Burleson business-owner Chad Johnson is petitioning for a local option election to allow liquor stores to operate in Burleson.
Johnson, owner of Margaritas To Go and other Burleson businesses, has until February 5 to submit at least 5,430 Burleson registered-voter signatures on the petition to the Burleson city secretary. If he does that, the option to allow the sale of all alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption (liquor stores) in Burleson will be on the election ballot in November.
Approximately 5,000 verified Burleson registered-voters have signed the petition as of this writing, according to Texas Petition Strategies president John Hatch.
