Legal Drinking Age
In the state of Texas, is it legal for a person under the age of 21 to be served and consume alcohol if in the presense of an adult parent or spouse?
Re: Legal Drinking Age
No. It is not illegal to consume alcoholic beverages at one's own home, but it is a criminal offense for the minor to purchase or drink alcoholic beverages at a public establishment. It is also unlawful for the restaurant or bar to serve anyone under 21. Whether a parent or spouse over the age of 21 is present is irrelevant.
