If you've not been grinding your own, this is a good reason why you
should. They make a big deal out of stopping something they never
should have done from the start.

I started grinding my own waaay back when. The 'bleach in the hamburger'
stories on the news had a lot to do with that. I haven't bought
store-packaged hamburger since and I haven't looked back. I try to lower
my dietary ammonia and hypochlorite consumption whenever possible.

Texas has some strange laws. You can have an open bottle as long as
you're under .05 BAC. At least that's what I have understood. Now, you
tell me the Health Dept would rather have game processed at a home with
no inspections (I imagine), then a commercial butcher shop which is
subject to periodic inspections..

Can you legally process at home and charge $$$? Or is that one of them
things that is just over looked by all in town, including the Sheriff?

That's what I had heard. One could operate a motor vehicle while
drinking, say a can of beer. But a DWI or similar ticket could be
issued if the driver had .05 or greater BAC. I guess I was told
wrong... Not the first time someone tried to bs me.

Open bottle in car was allowed up until about 1998 in TX. Yes, you
could actually drink and drive, up to the point you were intoxicated.
Then it was illegal.

It's been awhile since I lived in San Antonio, but at that time
my habit was to stop at the local ice house with a friend in
the evening and slop a few beers. They had curb service and
we drank in the car. There were no cops hanging around to see
if anyone drove away drunk
