    Default Open Container in Texas

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

    My friend received an open container ticket in Texas, she is 21 yrs old and was in the back seat of a car. There were several people with open containers in the car, but she did not have one. When pulled over everyone was given a ticket for an open alcoholic beverage. There are several discrepancies on the ticket, for search no is circled, and neither citation or warning was circled. At the JP's office the court had to send the ticket back to the police station where citation was then circled. My friend plead not gulity and is having a bench trial. Are there any hopes of getting out of this ticket?

    If she did not have an alcoholic beverage, what was the officer's reasoning in issuing her a ticket?
