Interesting. I wasn't aware of this. Do you have any references to court cases? I'd like to try to understand some of the subtleties that may be involved. For example, Sherlocks in Austin is posted 51%, but I don't have any way of knowing if the shared parking lot is owned by the owner of Sherlocks (and if it is, whether it's part of the area they are licensed to sell/serve Alcohol on). I guess what I'd count on is the fact that I'd not be 'knowingly' carrying in a non-building area because the only information I have is the 51% sign inside the bar.srothstein wrote:You would be thinking wrong. The licensed premises includes everything at the mailing address used, including the building, parking lot, woods out back, etc. unless it is specifically diagrammed off on the license application. All of the court cases I know of have held this way for people arrested for unlawfully carrying on a licensed premise. I can't say about all of the local PD's, but I made sure and teach the TABC agents that the parking lot was legal for anyone to carry in their car and a CHL to carry while walking, based on the definitions of premises. But, in addition to other police agencies, I never got to teach judges this, so don't count on it holding up in court.MedicMan218 wrote:Including the parking lot?chabouk wrote: If they have a license, the entire property is licensed (as shown on their property map that is submitted to TABC for their license approval)
