Relating to the offense of public consumption of alcoholic beverages during certain hours.

SB 791 clarifies that public consumption of alcohol is prohibited in any location considered a "public place," including unlicensed or unpermitted premises like parks, streets, or private property open to the public. It expands the definition of "public place" under Texas' Alcoholic Beverage Code to cover all such areas, directly affecting individuals consuming alcohol in public spaces. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies only to offenses committed on or after that date, leaving pre-existing law in effect for prior violations.
