[Bill Number] HB 1936 [Author] Gutierrez [Caption / Statutes Amended] relating to importation and shipment of alcoholic beverages for personal consumption. 107.07(a) and (e) AB Code 107.11 AB Code 107.07 AB Code 107.07(b) and (c) AB Code 107.12 AB Code [Effective Date] 9/1/2011 [Summary] 
Serves three functions: one, increases the administrative fee on alcoholic beverages from 50 cents to $3 per container; two, equalizes the importation limits between Texas residents and non-residents, increasing the importation limit for Texans from one quart to a gallon of distilled spirits every 30 days; three, allows for the importation of a personal collection of beer and/or distilled spirits by persons moving to Texas. No taxes would be owed to the state and no licensing or paperwork required by TABC. Current law already allows the importation of a wine collection.
