The storage of alcoholic beverages by the holder of a passenger transportation permit

Texas House Bill 4285, effective September 1, 2025, allows airlines with a passenger transportation permit to store alcoholic beverages in sealed containers of any size at airports they regularly serve. This storage can occur at the airport itself or within the same county and up to five miles from the airport. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission will establish rules and regulations governing this practice. ([legiscan.com](https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB4285/id/3165668?utm_source=openai))
