Q: Does TABC certification protect you from all legal trouble?

In most cases, both the employee (the person who served the alcohol) and the employer (the permit holder) can be held responsible. However, the employee is the one most likely to face immediate criminal charges.

No. Texas law requires a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID for alcohol purchases. An expired ID is not legally acceptable, even if the age is correct. The server must refuse the sale.
