Safe Harbor
If you are charged with selling alcohol to a minor or to an intoxicated person, your employer could lose their license to sell. In order for your employer's license to be protected:

2. The person selling / serving holds a current seller-server training certificate from a TABC approved school;
3. All employees engaged in the sale, service, or delivery of alcoholic beverages, as well as their immediate managers are certified within 30 days of their hire date;
4. The employer has written policies for responsible alcohol service and consumption and ensures that each employee has read and understands these policies;
5. The employer does not directly or indirectly encourage the employee to violate the law.
Meeting these criteria is commonly referred to as "safe harbor." If an illegal sale is made, the seller-server might be arrested, but the company's permit / license may be protected.
