Yes, it is a class C misdemeanor (a ticket) and can be found in
section 49.03 of the penal code.
"A person commits an offense if the person knowingly possesses
an open container in a passenger area of a motor vehicle that is
located on a public highway, regardless of whether the vehicle is
being operated or is stopped or parked."
