That is precisely what Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was doing on Sunday in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
To get more supplies in our grocery stores more quickly I will remove any regulatory barrier that stands in the way.
Texas is now allowing trucks that deliver alcohol to also deliver grocery supplies. #COVID19 #coronavirus #txlege https://t.co/rO7DA273iB

“To get more supplies in our grocery stores more quickly I will remove any regulatory barrier that stands in the way,” the GOP governor tweeted.
“Texas is now allowing trucks that deliver alcohol to also deliver grocery supplies.”

“This is yet another example of the private sector stepping up and Texans helping Texans as we all work to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in our state,” he said, KXXV reported.
