The money will go to Bexar County bars and restaurants that have not already received help through previous city and county grant programs.

A county spokeswoman said Tuesday that Judge Nelson Wolff has submitted the necessary paperwork to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission to allow bars to reopen in Bexar County, but it had not yet been approved.
