School board files protest against alcohol variance

DAINGERFIELD – The board met April
17, at which time Superintendent Sandra
Quarles informed the board the school district
had filed a protest with the Texas Alcoholic
Beverage Commission (TABC).
According to Quarles, she received a letter
from the TABC stating a variance had been
granted for the gas station across from South
Elementary.
A potential store owner had approached
the Daingerfield City Council asking for a
variance to the city’s distance requirements
in order to sell beer and wine at the location,
which falls inside the required distance from
schools. After the City Council approved the
variance, application was made for a license
to sell beer and wine for off-premise consumption
to TABC, who informed Quarles
in writing.
