Officials pull for alcohol sales bill Southlake and Westlake could call elections on the issue if the proposal becomes law. A bill climbing through the Legislature could bring wine to Westlake and Southlake, where it has long been absent from store shelves. We've worked so hard on this issue for two years.

The early success of HB 1222 early success is fantastic news, he said.
