Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission records Pop's Beverage licence in Houston
Rule Changes Houston, TX localTABC record lists MERITO EXPRESS INC as holder for Pop's Beverage at 644 W Rankin Rd Ste 111A
Overview
On November 6, 2026, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission licence file listed Pop's Beverage at 644 W Rankin Rd Ste 111A in Houston. MERITO EXPRESS INC is named as the holder.
That is one official approval. The record does not show that the business has every approval it needs, and it does not show whether the address is serving customers. It also does not identify the people behind MERITO EXPRESS INC or describe the store.
Why it matters
A TABC record ties a named company to a Houston address, but it does not show that alcohol sales have begun.

Scenarios
TABC record remains active through late 2027
Discussed by: Derived from the TABC License Information dataset; no outside analysis is cited.
The licence record stays listed in the state file without a cancellation or removal. This would confirm only that the record remains part of the TABC file, not that the address is serving customers.
Additional TABC records appear for the same Houston address
Discussed by: Derived from the TABC License Information dataset; no outside analysis is cited.
A later TABC file lists another licence record for 644 W Rankin Rd Ste 111A. That would show more licensing activity at the address without establishing that sales have begun.
TABC record is removed or expires without a successor
Discussed by: Derived from the TABC License Information dataset; no outside analysis is cited.
The November 6 record stops appearing as active in the state file and no replacement record for the same holder and address is listed. That would leave the licence file without a current record tying MERITO EXPRESS INC to the address.
