March 9 is the last day for filing most bills in the Texas Legislature. With the clock ticking, we took a look at some of the bills that have been filed so far.

HB 1325 has also been introduced to legalize and regulate hemp production and hemp derivatives, extracts and cannabidiols in the state of Texas. The legality of hemp, and CBD, in the state has been examined in a recent series of reports by NBC 5 Investigates.

I had no idea about that. We once lived in a dry county in Colorado, so my 20-something father took up golf, and drove the the course in the next county.

I got some education on Utah liquor laws a few decades back. But Utah reformed their liquor laws, in order to compete for the Winter Olympics. It worked.

Texas can begin billing itself as the all-around intoxicant vacation destiny.

"Come to Hill Country, where we have Local Craft Beer, Wineries, Live entertainment Galore, and Weed by the Texas-sized-Bale.
