SB 2334 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the storage of alcoholic beverages by an airline passenger transportation permittee.

This bill amends Texas law to allow airlines with passenger transportation permits to sell or serve alcohol on flights that cross areas where alcohol sales are prohibited (such as certain state or federal zones). It also permits these airlines to store sealed alcohol containers at airports they regularly serve or within five miles of those airports, following rules set by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. The bill directly affects Texas-licensed airlines operating commercial passenger flights. It creates specific, clear rules for alcohol handling during air travel and storage, without changing broader state alcohol laws.
