    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Subdivision (1), Section 108.51, Alcoholic

    1-6              (1)  "Outdoor advertising" means any sign bearing a
    1-7  word, mark, description, or other device that is used to advertise
    1-8  an alcoholic beverage or the business of a person who manufactures,
    1-9  sells, or distributes an alcoholic beverage if the sign is
   1-10  displayed outside the walls or enclosure of a building or structure
   1-11  where a license or permit is issued or if it is displayed inside a
   1-12  building but within five feet of an exterior wall facing a street
   1-13  or highway so that it is visible by a person of ordinary vision
   1-14  from outside the building.  "Outdoor advertising" does not include
   1-15  advertising appearing on radio or television, in a public vehicular
   1-16  conveyance for hire, on a race car while participating at a
   1-17  professional racing event or at a permanent motorized racetrack

   1-23  this definition the word "sign," with respect to a retailer, does
   1-24  not include an identifying label affixed to a container as

    2-2  association or organization if the card or certificate is not
    2-3  larger than 80 square inches.
    2-4        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-5  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-6  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-7  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-8  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
    2-9  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   2-10  passage, and it is so enacted.
