Cruising out of Texas, Did you pay the booze tax?

On January 4, 2014, cruise travelers disembarking out of the Port of Galveston will need to pay the tax for alcoholic beverages and cigarettes imported into the state that were purchased either on the ship's duty free store or at a foreign port of call. TABC currently operates 20 ports of entry collection facilities along the Texas-Mexico border where the tax is presently collected. During the recent legislative session, the agency was appropriated funding to begin tax collection of imported alcoholic beverages and cigarettes from seaport facilities. The Galveston Port facility will be the first seaport location where this tax will be collected with plans to extend to the Houston-Bayport facility in the fall of 2014.
THE MAN IN YOUR POCKETS!!!
Can you just "walk on by?" the tax man??

I enjoy not paying income taxes and hate cruises, so I'm okay with this.

I paid something like 68 cents total for a couple of bottles of liquor.
If you can't afford that, you have no business on a cruise.

For alcohol, the tax is fairly small — $3.75 for a liter of booze. For cigarettes, it is a pricey $1.50 per pack.

Conservationism run amok. Next up, all cities will be required to submit any local ordinance to the State Attorney General for approval. Sieg Heil.
