Texas Brewing Legislation Fails

AUSTIN - All three pending bills in the State House of Representatives were left to expire as the current Texas legislative session ended this week.

House bills HB 602, HB 660 and HB 2436 all dealt with modest modifications to the state's TABC codes for selling beer directly to the public. HB 660 and HB 2436 were left pending in committee, whereas HB 602 successfully passed committee but was never placed on the calendar. None were ever scheduled for a vote on the House floor.
