Tailgating in Houston (alcohol related)...

Need some help from someone familiar with the Houston scene on gamedays. Some friends and I are going down and we've never tailgated in Houston. I would like to know what the alcohol situation is like on gamedays.
More information: everyone in the the party is over 21 (and looks it), we'll be tailgating in purple lot mostly but we'd like to walk around, we won't have glass but want to bring drinks.
I've been told we're fine at the tailgate, but regarding walking around, I'm getting mixed information. Walking around with a beer can, ok or no? Makers in a cup, ok or no? Don't leave tailgate with open container at all?
Thanks in advance and

You're in Texas. If you walk down the street with a beer can you could end up being beaten with a nightstick.

do not walk around outside of your tailgate area holding an open alcoholic beverage. you will be ticketed. OR WORSE

i have a cool story bro related to this topic.
I moved to Houston 6 years ago for my job. My boys came in town that weekend to help me move in. That Friday after moving shite all day. We wanted to walk down Washington and get a beer. But before the walk we all grabbed 2 beers to double fist for the walk to the bar.
We had no idea of the drinking laws in Texas.
We get all the way to the bar, we probably had only drank half of one beer. There's a cop outside. He calls us over.
Cop: "Hey boys, walking down the street with a beer or two huh?"
Us: "yes sir. needed a beer after moving in all day"
Cop: "And where exactly would yall be from?"
Us: "Baton Rouge, LA"
Cop: "Uhuh, I see. Let me let you in on a little secret about Texas. Unlike Louisiana, you can't just walk up and down the street with a open container in your hand."
Us: "ohhhh, ummm....."
Cop: "I'll give you 2 options. You kill both beers in the next minute while I turn my back. Leave the empties at my feet. Or I write you all a ticket for open container. How's that sound?"
Us: GULP GULP GULP GULP GULP
pretty cool of the cop to do that. kind of a welcome to Texas thing.
