The council reportedly considered putting the item on the May 9 ballot, but could not meet certain deadlines. Like many other cities, alcohol sales would help boost sales revenue.

No petitions regarding the issue have yet circulated, but if enough signatures were received and the petitions approved by Hunt County, the item would be placed on the November 3 ballot.
