In which situation is a minor legally allowed to possess alcohol?

During a family gathering.
When working at an establishment as a seller/server.
When attending a party with an adult.
When in a private residence.

The correct answer is: When working at an establishment as a seller/server.

A minor is legally allowed to possess alcohol when they are working at an establishment as a seller/server. In Texas, the law permits minors who are 16 years of age or older to work in certain capacities in alcohol-serving establishments as long as they do not sell alcohol directly to customers. This exception is put in place to allow minors to gain work experience in places like restaurants or bars under strict conditions, thereby ensuring that minors can perform necessary job functions without directly participating in the sale of alcohol. In other contexts, such as during a family gathering, at a private residence, or at a party with an adult, the law does not provide the same allowances for minors to possess alcohol. While there may be instances where minors consume alcohol in these situations, it is generally not legal under Texas law. The regulations are designed to maintain a clear boundary regarding alcohol possession by minors, emphasizing responsible consumption and ensuring that such situations do not lead to illegal activities.
