Commissioners approve temporary beer license for Tejano Roots awards ceremony
Summary
The court approved a temporary beer license for the Tejano Roots awards ceremony at the Jim Wells County Fairgrounds in early January after Ruben Lopez described the event and its expected draw. The motion passed by voice vote.
The Jim Wells County Commissioners Court voted Nov. 24 to approve a request for a temporary beer license for the Tejano Roots awards ceremony to be held at the Jim Wells County Fairgrounds in early January.
Ruben Lopez, president and CEO of the Hanoverse Hall of Fame Museum and organizer of the Tejano Roots awards, told the court the event draws attendees from across the United States and supports local hotels, restaurants and businesses. There was brief clarification on the event date (the record contained references to Jan. 3 and Jan. 4; speakers confirmed the awards will take place Jan. 3), and Lopez asked the court to support the organization’s license request.
A court member moved to approve the license; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Court members thanked the organization for its contribution to local economic activity.
The approval grants the temporary permit requested for the awards ceremony; the court did not record any additional conditions on the license in the meeting transcript.
