Hear Me Out…A Texas Bar Where the Minimum Age for Entry is 30. Would You Go?
Going out on a Friday or Saturday night can be a fun time just about anywhere in Texas. You gather your friends together, find that night's hot spot, have a few libations, dance, then take an Uber or Lyft home to relax or throw the after party. While that is always the intent of going out, sometimes, the night doesn't go as planned. You or your friend may run into that one person who just can't handle their alcohol and proceeds to engage in fisticuffs with any, and everyone, around that person. That may have been what happened at an Ohio bar that promoted an age change for entry.

All Texans Should Avoid These 7 Things Right Now
Being born and raised in Texas is unlike any other experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
