FYI: I used Google to search for "no open bottle law" (in quotes) and the only thing that came up was Mudcat itself. That takes care of all the "There ain't" "There isn't" "there is" "there wasn't" etc. variations.

"An open bottle law" comes up with only 3 sites, none of which are relevant to music. (But it does find an interesting page called MAKE 'EM PAY: Ultimate Revenge Techniques from the Master Trickster -- which makes me marvel at how perverted people's minds can be.)

"Open bottle law" comes up with 84 sites. If you narrow it by adding +Texas, you again get only 3 sites, which are easily eliminated.

By the way, I believe that, with Google, "open bottle" finds "open-bottle" and vice versa.

From that I conclude that (1) it just ain't on the Internet, or (2) the actual title is WAY different from what we've been given (anybody want to try all the other states?) or (3) it is somewhere in the "invisible web."

By the way, I know Minnesota has a similar law, and though the law probably says "container" and not "bottle," it is still popularly known as the "open bottle law." A few years ago, when the law was new, liquor stores started selling little plastic clingy wrappers that you could wrap around a beer can and make it look like a pop can, from a distance anyway. They came in several designs, imitating several popular brands of pop. (That's what we call soda in Minnesota.) They have long since disappeared from the market.

Since so many people seem so interested in this song title, why doesn't somebody just WRITE a song to go with it?
