Can volunteers be held civilly and criminally liable for serving an intoxicated person and providing alcohol to a minor, even if they are not paid?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Uncertain

  4. Partially true

The correct answer is: True

Volunteers can indeed be held civilly and criminally liable for serving an intoxicated person and providing alcohol to a minor, even if they are not paid. In Texas, as in many other states, the law places responsibility on anyone serving alcohol to ensure that they do not serve minors or visibly intoxicated individuals. This includes not only paid bartenders, but also volunteers at events or functions. So, regardless of whether someone is a paid professional or a volunteer, they can still face legal consequences for serving alcohol irresponsibly.
