According to this open container law FAQ, "If you are in a car with an open container of alcohol on a public road, you are breaking Texas law." So I suppose that applies to parades, too, regardless of permits.</p> http://houstonist.com/2006/03/13/driven_to_drink.php#comment-148949 http://houstonist.com/2006/03/13/driven_to_drink.php#comment-148949 Comments Mon, 13 Mar 2006 12:18:03 -0600 <p>No one has explored the fact that it was a permitted parade.
