1 Answer from Attorneys
The following notes were taken directly from the TABC FAQ
It is ILLEGAL to take any alcoholic beverage into a restaurant/bar that has a private club permit or a mixed beverage permit (distilled spirits in addition to beer/wine). You can't leave with an alcoholic beverage, unless it is a bottle of wine you bought with a meal and did not finish.
It is LEGAL to take alcoholic beverages into or out of a restaurant/bar that has a beer/wine permit (no distilled spirits), or an establishment that does not have a permit to sell alcohol. However, the business may have their own rules against it.
Your question raises many questions, the first being, if the business has house rules, why not post them? It would resolve the problem, since you then are squarely wtihin your rights to refuse service.
