New Texas Open Container, License Revocation Law Takes Effect
The Austin area reads of new laws starting Jan 1 targeting drunk driving. First offenders face a 60 day license suspension for failing a BAC test, second offenders 120 days, plus license revocation. Law aims to deter intoxicated driving amid 1,219 traffic deaths last year. Mothers Against Drunk Driving endorses the measure as a lifesaver.

States would set rules on work or school attendance, time limits, paternity identification, job training, and restrictions on new births or benefits. The approach argues for bottom up reform.
