Did you know that in the state of Texas the person who actually serves, sells, or delivers an alcoholic beverage to a customer is legally responsible for that sale? While other people, such as the door hostess, bouncer, or bartender, can check IDs and help monitor for intoxication, you, as the server, are the one who is held legally responsible if you make a sale or serve a minor or intoxicated person.
Not only could you get a violation, but if you knowingly break the laws governing alcohol sales, it’s not just a violation, it’s a crime! If you’re found guilty, you may be held responsible for damage caused by the people to whom you sold or served alcohol.
It gets worse. Not only can you be held liable, but your employer can face some stiff penalties as well. They could even lose their license to sell alcohol.
One way to help protect yourself from violating state alcohol laws is to take a state approved seller-server certification course, like the Seller Server Course - TABC Texas offered by Seller Server Classes, an EduClasses website. This seller-server course will take you through the fundamentals of alcohol training for your seller-server card, license, permit or certificate. Once the course has been completed, you should have a good understanding of the laws that govern the sale of alcohol and the skills needed to legally serve and sell alcohol in the state of Texas.
