Liquor Bills Deadlocked as Texas Legislature Delays
AUSTIN Tex Aug 16 Liquor bills failed to pass in the House under a rule requiring three readings except in emergencies. The 9 30 closing law and related measures faced suspension rulings and a ruling by the attorney general that the rule was unconstitutional. The Senate passed the Watson 9 30 civil closing bill but with no strict voter amendment.
