"Texas Open Container Law

Since Sept. 1, 2001 when House Bill 5 passed by the Texas legislature became effective, it is illegal to have an open container of alcohol in the passenger area of a car on any public road in Texas. Exempt from this law are buses, limousines, and taxis."

I'm a little behind the times. Apparently they stopped it WAAAAAAAY back in 2001 and have slid into nearly absolute prohibition since then.

Actually Wyoming was just trying to pass an open container law and it failed again. There is still some freedom left in at least Wyoming.
