SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - Texas has begun sending undercover agents
into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas
Alcoholic Beverage Commission said on Wednesday.
The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where
agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public
intoxication, said the commission's Carolyn Beck.

The goal, she said, was to detain drunks before they leave a bar and go
do something dangerous like drive a car.

She said the sting operations would continue throughout the state.
