Quoted: Hey TVC,
Do you have a cite to that rule?
It was my understanding (No- I don;t have a cite to any rule that invovles TABC- Just years of experience) that you cannot take ANY alcohol outsid the TABC line.
Just curious and wanting to clear my misunderstanding of the law up.

You bet. It is the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code Chapter 25. Wine and Beer Retailers Permit 25.01(1). It gives the business the right to sell for ON PREMISE or OFF PREMISE drinking. It is not for on premise only. It is as follows:
CHAPTER 25. WINE AND BEER RETAILERS PERMIT
§ 25.01. AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES. The holder of a wine and beer retailer's permit may sell:
(1) for consumption
on or off the premises where sold, but not for resale, wine, beer, and malt liquors containing alcohol in excess of one-half of one percent by volume and not more than 17 percent by volume; and
(2) for consumption on the premises traditional port or sherry containing alcohol in excess of one-half of one percent by volume and not more than 24 percent by volume.
This is not to be confused with Chapter 26 which is OFF-PREMISE PERMIT. That is generally for stores that can sell to drink off the property like a convenience store or supermarket. It is:
CHAPTER 26. WINE AND BEER RETAILERS OFF-PREMISE PERMIT
§ 26.01. AUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES. The holder of a wine and beer retailer's off-premise permit may sell for
off-premises consumption only, but not for resale, wine, beer, and malt liquors containing alcohol in excess of one-half of one percent by volume but not more than 17 percent by volume.
