BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 11, Alcoholic Beverage | ||
Code, is amended by adding Section 11.341 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 11.341. REQUIRED SECURITY PLAN. (a) An application | ||
for an original or renewal permit authorizing the sale of alcoholic | ||
beverages for on-premises consumption must include a security plan. | ||
(b) The security plan must include information regarding: | ||
(1) the type and location of cameras installed on the | ||
premises; | ||

section, including rules requiring the applicant or permit holder | ||

date the application is filed, and the former law is continued in | ||
effect for that purpose. | ||
