Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code Section 106.104 makes it a criminal offense for a minor to consume alcohol. The minor, however, has an affirmative defense if the alcohol is consumed in the visible presence of the minor’s adult parent, guardian, or spouse.
“Minor in consumption” is a class c misdemeanor carrying a maximum fine of $500. Additionally, there are several ways to become eligible for expunction following a Minor in Consumption arrest.”
