Re: Under age public drinking

Your statement would require more specifc facts to provide a more clear opinion. Generally, consumption of alcohol by a minor under the Texas Alocholic Beverage Code does NOT allow for a minor (someone under the age of 21) to consume alcohol. There is a potential affirmative defense, which may be applicable in such a specific case. If my local law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]).
