Is it permissible for organizations without a permit to provide free alcoholic beverages to any adult who requests them?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if they have a license

  4. Only for a specific group

The correct answer is: Yes

The correct response is that it is permissible for organizations without a permit to provide free alcoholic beverages to any adult who requests them, under certain conditions. In Texas, the law does allow unpermitted entities to provide complimentary alcohol as long as they are not engaged in the sale of alcoholic beverages and do not serve it in a manner that would be construed as a business venture. This could apply to non-profit organizations at fundraising events, private parties, or social gatherings. Organizations must ensure that they do not violate any local ordinances or engage in activities that might warrant licensing requirements, such as providing alcohol in quantities or under circumstances that resemble selling. Moreover, providing alcohol for free does not exempt them from adhering to rules regarding underage drinking and responsible service. Overall, it's the context in which the alcohol is provided that matters most.
