About
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission strongly feels that trained sellers, servers, and managers are better able to identify and prevent sales of alcoholic beverages to minors, intoxicated persons, and non-members of a private club. Because of this belief, the agency has certified courses for seller/server training. These courses are provided by certified private businesses or retailers for their own employees whose curriculum has been reviewed and approved by the TABC and whose trainers are also certified. These courses cover the laws applicable to the sales or service of alcoholic beverages to minors, intoxicated persons, and non-members of a private club. The courses also teach techniques to identify these persons and prevent sales to them.
Online Institute of America
Online Institute of America, in association with Learn2Serve, offers online TABC certification courses for sellers, servers and consumers of alcohol to prevent intoxication, drunk driving and underage drinking.
The primary purpose of TABC Certification is to mitigate liability during a lawsuit involving intoxication by providing evidence of intent on the part of the establishment that serves and sells alcoholic beverages – a “reasonable efforts defense.” Secondarily, TABC Certification is considered effective in reducing incidences of over-serving patrons to the point of intoxication, and in preventing sales to minors.
