Parmer County commissioners refuse Farwell Country Club's TABC mixed-beverage application
Summary
At a June 13 special session, the Parmer County Commissioners Court voted to refuse a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission application from the Farwell Country Club to sell mixed beverages; the club will pursue a private-club authorization instead.
Parmer County Commissioners Court voted on June 13 to refuse an application by the Farwell Country Club to sell mixed beverages under the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission process, court minutes show.
Commissioner Kirk Frye moved to refuse the TABC application; Commissioner Charles Wilkins seconded, and the motion passed by a majority vote, according to the minutes. The court convened at 10:01 A.M., with Judge Isabel "Izzy" Carrasco and Commissioner Kenny White listed as absent. The meeting adjourned at 10:05 A.M.
David McArthur, representing the Farwell Country Club, presented a completed TABC form seeking authorization to sell mixed beverages at the club. After brief consideration, the court declined the application. The minutes note that, with the refusal, the club will apply under the private-club provision to allow alcoholic beverage sales.
No roll-call vote tally appears in the minutes; the record states only that the motion "passed by majority vote." Susie Spring, county clerk, recorded the minutes for the session. Commissioner Casey Russell later moved to adjourn; Commissioner Wilkins seconded.
The action closes the matter before the court for now; any future authorization for alcohol sales at the club will proceed through the private-club application process rather than the TABC mixed-beverage application that was presented at this special session.
