BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 151.006, Tax Code, is amended by adding | ||
Subsection (e) to read as follows: | ||

serving meals, drinks, or other food products at locations | ||
designated by customers. | ||
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act do not affect | ||

and the former law is continued in effect for the collection of | ||
taxes due and for civil and criminal enforcement of the liability | ||
for those taxes. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2015. |
