Potential Texas Bill Wants to Legalize Alcohol Deliveries With Food

Food and Alcohol Deliveries
A potential new bill would allow for restaurants to sell and deliver alcoholic drinks along with food. The bill would require that the drinks be served in a “sealed [...] original, single-serving container,” according to the Statesman. This would apply to beer, wine, and mixed drinks, along with food orders. The bill, put forth by State Representative John Kuempel and backed by the Texas Restaurant Association, is being presented at the current Texas Legislative Session.
