I could be wrong, and probably am. Isn't it legal to have an open alcohol container in your car or truck, while driving? I know it used to be legal, unless they finally changed that bass ackwards "law".

Yes it's true... Texas is definately a whole other "country" in some peoples' minds down there. (notice I didn't say all). Then again, I LOVE the Dixie Chicks and can't stand that one guy that they aren't so happy with.

Mmmmm... According to all the John Grisham novels, it's legal to drink beer while driving on the highway in the state of Missisiipi. (yeah, I know, I spelled it wrong...)

I think this is an informal "pre-emptive" strike on people who spend money in restaurants!

I think this is bad policy for restaurants. I think this is bad for the restaurants business.

People will be "scared" to go out if this continues. Which means less customers!

This needs to be thought out more accurately than it is now..... *(Just my point of view).

First off, there seems to be this negetive connotation about Texas. I'm not so sure what it is though. Maybe someone can enlighten us.
I'M GONNA SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME. THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THINGS OF THIS NATURE. THIS STATE IS PROBABLY 90 PERCENT republican. I don't care what you say, this is a republican move and there is something that YOU can do about it as citizens. I think it's totally wrong to concentrate on Texas. This type of mindset is going on all around. Read the press! Listen to your leaders. Maybe this will get some people off their butts and vote these ideas out.
