The 'licensed premises' is defined as the area where they can serve alcohol for on-premise consumption. It may normally not include the parking lot, but they also may get a temporary license to cover sale and consumption in the parking lot and then it would be off-limits. Best bet on these, if it's a bar and beside the business in their private parking area, and they are predominately selling alcohol, then it will be 99% a no-go.BBYC wrote:“Premises” means a building or a portion of a building
The law is quite clear. The parking lot doesn’t meet the definition of the offense charged regardless of the TABC license considerations.
