For which reason may a peace officer arrest individuals under TABC guidelines?

A peace officer may arrest individuals under the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code (TABC) guidelines for the possession of an illicit beverage because the possession of alcohol that is illegal or not compliant with TABC regulations directly contravenes the laws governing alcohol in Texas. Illicit beverages may include those that are not properly labeled, are possessed in violation of age restrictions, or are obtained through illegal means.

The focus on illicit beverages is essential as it protects public health and maintains order within the community. Peace officers have the authority to enforce these laws to prevent illegal activities related to the sale and distribution of alcohol, which can include underage drinking or possession of unlicensed alcohol products. This ensures compliance with regulations designed to promote responsible consumption and public safety.
