DUI / DWI Defense Attorneys
Westbrook Law Firm, PLLC in Houston provides specialized defense for DWI cases involving open container violations in Texas. Under Texas Penal Code §49.031, having an open container of alcohol in a vehicle is illegal regardless of driver sobriety. An “open container” includes any bottle, can, or receptacle containing alcoholic beverages that has been opened, had its seal broken, or had contents partially removed. This law applies whether the vehicle is moving or parked on public highways, including roads, streets, interstates, and publicly maintained roadways. Legal transportation of alcohol requires placement in the trunk, locked glove compartment, or behind the last upright seat in vehicles without trunks. Following the 2021 legalization of to-go alcohol sales with House Bill 1024, sealed containers accompanying carry-out meals can be legally transported, but breaking the seal before reaching the destination constitutes a violation. Passengers in regular vehicles cannot legally consume alcohol, though exceptions exist for hired transportation and motorhome living areas. Violations constitute Class C misdemeanors with fines up to $500.
