have never been allowed to be open 24 hours. Or at least they aren't allowed to sell alcohol past 2am or before 7am.

Here's the hours you can sell alcohol in Texas. They have some pretty strict rules. If you want to drink 24 hours a day go to Louisiana or Nevada.

What are the Hours of Operation for Alcohol Sales in a Bar, Restaurant, Liquor or Grocery Store in Texas?
Package (Liquor) Store Hours in Texas:
Monday through Saturday- 10 am to 9 pm and closed on Sunday. Liquor stores are also closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. If Christmas Day or New Years’ Day falls on a Sunday, then the store must close on the following Monday. (I know. Weird, right?) Note: Liquor stores may also sell beer if they have a (BF) license, but the beer sales hours are the same as for liquor

Grocery and Convenience Store Beer & Wine Sale Hours in Texas
Monday through Friday 7 am to Midnight. Saturday 7 am to 1 am. Sunday 12 Noon to 12 Midnight Note: These stores can only sell wine not to exceed 14% alcohol by volume. (unless they have an additional permit to sell wine above 14% by volume and those sales have some different hours)

Mixed-Beverage Permitees such as bars, pubs (and Mixed Beverage Permits with Food Such as Restaurants )
