Texas House Votes Tax on Bottle Clubs in Revenue Bid
In Austin on July 1 1989 the Texas House passed a 10 million tax plan targeting bottle clubs as part of a broader general revenue bill. The measure faced strong opposition and was trimmed from a larger proposal, with Speaker Waggoner Carr urging rapid action and warning that delay could affect future fiscal needs. The debate included severance tax and luxury sales provisions, and the Senate prepared to consider beach access guarantees excluding Padre and Mustang islands.
