Why should
Seller/Servers get TABC Certified?
Texas Law
Effective Sep 1, 2000: Anyone who sells, serves or delivers alcoholic beverages
including persons who immediately manage, direct, supervise or control the
sale or service of alcoholic beverages must be TABC Certified in order for
the business to continue to receive "Safe Harbor" from fines and penalties
related to employees actions. See Chap. 50-TABC for more info.
Protection From Fines
Section 106.14 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Code says that in the case of: "…sales,
service, dispensing or deliver of an alcoholic
beverage to an intoxicated person or a
minor, action of an employee shall not
be attributable to the employer if:"
1. The employer requires
its employees to attend an approved seller-training
program
2. The employee has actually attended
and passed an approved program
3. The employer
has not directly or indirectly encouraged
the employee to violate such law
Lawsuit Liability
Over the past thirteen years a growing number
of alcohol liability lawsuits in Texas that
have been settled both in and out of court
have included attempts to collect damages from
alcohol licensees for everything from auto
accidents, personal injury, property damage,
pregnancy, STD's, rape and fights Your best
defense is to ensure all of your employees
are TABC Certified within 30 days of employment.
