16 Tex. Admin. Code § 41.16 - Tamper-Proof Containers
(a) This rule
relates to Alcoholic Beverage Code §§
28.1001 and
32.155.
(b) A "tamper-proof container" means a
container that, once sealed, clearly shows whether it has been opened. The term
includes a closed cup or similar container that is:
(1) placed into a bag that has been sealed
with a zip tie or staple;
(2)
sealed with shrink wrap or a similar seal;
(3) sealed with a tamper-evident adhesive
tape or seal having one or more indicators or barriers to entry which, if
breached or missing, can reasonably be expected to provide visible evidence
that tampering has occurred; or
(4)
sealed mechanically on-premises with a can seamer.
(c) The following sealing methods, unless
used in combination with a method described in subsection (b) of this section,
are not sufficient to meet the standard for a tamper-proof container:
(1) freezing the beverage, putting a lid on
it, and leaving the straw out of the lid's straw hole; and
(2) sealing with a sticker or adhesive tape
that is not tamper-evident.
(d) The list in subsection (c) of this
section is non-exclusive.
