Texas Judge Rules Craft Can Sell Territorial Distribution Rights

Dear Client:We've been covering the battle in Texas for craft brewers to be able to sell their territorial distribution rights, since a 2013 senate bill banned the practice. Spoiler alert: State District Judge Karin Crump has just ruled in favor of the craft brewer plaintiffs.Recall that Texas craft brewers Live Oak, Revolver and Peticolas Brewing sued the state in 2014, deeming Senate Bill 639 unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause as it revokes a brewer's right to sell its brands.
