    can't buy beer before noon on sundays as well, sucks during football season.

    i don't know if this is just texas, but all liquore stores must close at nine pm, and hard liquore is only available at liquore stores.. a minor can not buy, consume, or be served alcohol in public places, but an audult can purchase and distribute alcohol to any person of which he is a legall guardian of, in any public place, no matter what age.. you can not have an open container of alcohol in your car unless it's in your truck bed.

    also you can kill any tresspasser if he's in your house, but not if he's on your yard.. so if you kill someone on your yard, you have to drag him in to your house to avoid getting charged.
