Selling or serving alcohol to a minor in Texas is illegal. Which of the following is a recognized statutory exception in limited circumstances?
a.A minor may be furnished alcohol by, and in the visible presence of, their adult parent, guardian, or spouse
b.A minor may drink if they promise not to drive
c.A minor may drink on their 20th birthday
d.A minor may drink if a friend over 21 vouches for them
Explanation
Texas law allows a narrow exception where a minor is furnished alcohol by their adult parent, legal guardian, or spouse and is in that adult's visible presence. Promises, birthdays, or a friend vouching are not exceptions. A seller-server should apply these exceptions cautiously and follow house policy.
