A bipartisan bill introduced in the Texas Senate would prevent customers from bringing their own alcoholic beverages to certain sexually-oriented businesses, such as strip clubs, by closing a loophole that allows such entities to operate nearly 24/7.
Sen. Borris Miles’ (D-Houston) Senate Bill (SB) 287 prohibits the consumption of alcohol on the premises of a sexually-oriented business, including a “nightclub, bar, restaurant, or similar commercial enterprise that provides … live nude entertainment or live nude performances,” unless the site has an alcohol license from the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission (TABC).
