The city of Woodcreek is a small golfing community located right outside of Wimberley. Sally Caldwell is one of about 1,300 people who live there. She likes it because she doesn't have to deal with any big city problems.
"You've got traffic. Then you've got noise. Then you've got lights," Caldwell said.
AmeriTex Builder President Mike Jones isn't looking to turn Woodcreek into the next Austin. He does, however, have a plan in place for his property located at Brook Meadow Drive and RM 12 -- a liquor store.
"It would be an excellent tenant and an excellent business for this area. It would be seven miles from the closest liquor store. I'm not an advocate of drinking but it's a good business opportunity," Jones said.
It's one voters like Caldwell would rather do without.
"This isn't like a daycare center that might open in the morning and cease in the afternoon. This could be open late at night," Caldwell said.

Nine p.m. is the latest a liquor store can stay open in Texas. In this golfing community, that's late enough.
"It's a very small community. It's a very quite way of life. While it may not strike many people as a major change. It is," Caldwell said.
Winning over skeptics is only half the battle. Technically Jones' idea is illegal. Under the current city of Woodcreek law, the sale of packaged liquor is not allowed. Jones was able to get 359 voters to sign a petition for a local option election that could change that.
The liquor law is the only item on Woodcreek's ballot. As of Thursday, more than 300 people had cast their vote in early voting; about 35 percent of their population.
Not all feedback on the issue has been negative, Jones said.
"We're getting a lot of positive input. Those that are going to drink are going to drink. We'd rather have them have a shorter drive than a longer drive if they've been drinking already," Jones said.
The retail store will also bring in some tax revenue, Jones said.
Money isn't a selling point for Caldwell.
"It's amazing what people will do for money. I wouldn't vote for it for that reason but I'm sure there are some people that will," Caldwell said.
Jones hopes enough do. If they don't, his plans for a liquor store will be washed out. If that happens, he'll find something legal to takes its place.
Early voting ends Friday. The election day is next Tuesday.
