Amend CSHB 3555 by adding the following appropriately
numbered sections to the bill and renumbering existing sections of
the bill appropriately:
      SECTION ____.  Section 11.39(a), Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
amended to read as follows:
      (a)  Every applicant for a <pharmacist's medicinal,>
brewer's, distiller's and rectifier's, mixed beverage, private club
registration, winery, wholesaler's, class B wholesaler's, wine
bottler's, or package store permit shall give notice of the
application by publication at his own expense in two consecutive
issues of a newspaper of general circulation published in the city
or town in which his place of business is located.  If no newspaper
is published in the city or town, the notice shall be published in
a newspaper of general circulation published in the county where
the applicant's business is located.  If no newspaper is published
in the county, the notice shall be published in a qualified
newspaper published in the closest neighboring county and
circulated in the county of the applicant's residence.
      SECTION ____.  Section 109.53, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
amended to read as follows:
      Sec. 109.53.  CITIZENSHIP OF PERMITTEE; CONTROL OF PREMISES;
SUBTERFUGE OWNERSHIP; ETC.  No person who has not been a citizen of
Texas for a period of one year immediately preceding the filing of
his application therefor shall be eligible to receive a permit
under this code.  No permit except a brewer's permit, and such
other licenses and permits as are necessary to the operation of a
brewer's permit, shall be issued to a corporation unless the same
be incorporated under the laws of the state and unless at least 51
percent of the stock of the corporation is owned at all times by
citizens who have resided within the state for a period of one year
and who possess the qualifications required of other applicants for
permits;  provided, however, that the restrictions contained in the
preceding clause shall not apply to domestic or foreign
corporations that were engaged in the legal alcoholic beverage
business in this state under charter or permit prior to August 24,
1935.  Partnerships, firms, and associations applying for permits
shall be composed wholly of citizens possessing the qualifications
above enumerated.  Any corporation (except carrier) holding a
permit under this code which shall violate any provisions hereof,
or any rule or regulation promulgated hereunder, shall be subject
to forfeiture of its charter and it shall be the duty of the
attorney general, when any such violation is called to his
attention, to file a suit for such cancellation in a district court
of Travis County.  Such provisions of this section as require Texas
citizenship or require incorporation in Texas shall not apply to
the holders of agent's, industrial, <medicinal> and carrier's
permits.  No person shall sell, warehouse, store or solicit orders
for any liquor in any wet area without first having procured a
permit of the class required for such privilege, or consent to the
use of or allow his permit to be displayed by or used by any person
other than the one to whom the permit was issued.  It is the intent
of the legislature to prevent subterfuge ownership of or unlawful
use of a permit or the premises covered by such permit; and all
provisions of this code shall be liberally construed to carry out
this intent, and it shall be the duty of the commission or the
administrator to provide strict adherence to the general policy of
preventing subterfuge ownership and related practices hereinafter
declared to constitute unlawful trade practices.  No applicant for
a package store permit or a renewal thereof shall have authority to
designate as "premise" and the commission or administrator shall
not approve a lesser area than that specifically defined as
"premise" in Section 11.49(a) of this code.  Every permittee shall
have and maintain exclusive occupancy and control of the entire
licensed premises in every phase of the storage, distribution,
possession, and transportation and sale of all alcoholic beverages
purchased, stored or sold on the licensed premises.  Any device,
scheme or plan which surrenders control of the employees, premises
or business of the permittee to persons other than the permittee
shall be unlawful.  No minor, unless accompanied by his or her
parent, guardian, adult husband or adult wife, or other adult
person into whose custody he or she has been committed for the time
by some court, shall knowingly be allowed on the premises of the
holder of a package store permit.  The prohibition against the
presence of a minor on the premises of the holder of a package
store permit does not apply to the presence on the premises of the
holder or a person lawfully employed by the holder.  Any package
store permittee who shall be injured in his business or property by
another package store permittee by reason of anything prohibited in
this section may institute suit in any district court in the county
wherein the violation is alleged to have occurred to require
enforcement by injunctive procedures and/or to recover threefold
the damages by him sustained;  plus costs of suit including a
reasonable attorney's fee.  The provisions prohibiting the
licensing of only a portion of a building as premise for a package
store permit shall not apply to hotels as already defined in this
code.
      SECTION ____.  Chapters 39 and 40 and Subchapter D, Chapter
201, Alcoholic Beverage Code, are repealed.
