House Bill 3982 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to include a solicitation to buy drinks for consumption by a beer retailer or any of the retailer's employees among the prohibited conduct by an alcoholic beverage licensee or permittee for which the option to pay a civil penalty as an alternative to license or permit suspension is subject to the discretion of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) or the TABC administrator. The bill establishes that such a prohibited solicitation is presumed if an alcoholic beverage is sold or offered for sale for an amount in excess of the retailer's listed, advertised, or customary price.
