Under TABC rules, a peace officer may arrest without a warrant a person found in possession of which type of beverage?

A peace officer may arrest without a warrant a person found in possession of an illicit beverage because such beverages are classified under the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code as illegal and pose a violation of local and state alcohol laws. Illicit beverages typically include those that are produced, sold, or consumed in violation of legal regulations, such as unlicensed alcohol or beverages that contain an illegal amount of alcohol.

In this context, the term "illicit" clearly defines substances that are prohibited and can be grounds for immediate enforcement action by law enforcement officers. The ability to arrest someone for possession of an illicit beverage is a critical component of maintaining public safety and regulatory compliance regarding alcohol consumption and distribution.
