furnishing

I see that this has been asked before, but I've found conflicting reports regarding what type of misdemeanor this is. Some say it's a Class B, some say it's a Class A. Well, only TABC's website says its a class A, everywhere else seems to say Class B.

Does anyone know for sure? To clarify, this would be in a hypothetical case that I threw a party, where minors were present, the police came, and decided to give me a furnishing to minors ticket.

That offense is a Class A misdemeanor. From the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code:

Sec. 106.06. PURCHASE OF ALCOHOL FOR A MINOR; FURNISH¬ING ALCOHOL TO A MINOR. (a) Except as provided in Subsection (b) of this section, a person commits an offense if he purchases an alcoholic beverage for or gives or with criminal negligence makes available an alcoholic beverage to a minor.
(b)A person may purchase an alcoholic beverage for or give an alcoholic beverage to a minor if he is the minor's adult parent, guardian, or spouse, or an adult in whose custody the minor has been committed by a court, and he is visibly present when the minor possesses or consumes the alcoholic beverage.
(c)An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

Remember that house I made a while back? It was the really funky looking one. Yeah, I thought it'd be a challenge to try and furnish it ...

I'm moving to Texas in a few months, and my fiancee and I will be renting a house. Neither one of us has very much furniture or stuff. I need some good ideas for decorating and furnishing the place without spending thousands and thousands of $$. I had a friend who would go to flea markets and refurb the stuff she found, but any ideas if I can't find any flea market gems?

Thanks!!

Why dont you join up with free cycle. You dont pay for any thing on there, alot of people just dont need their stuff anymore, so put it on this site. Just a thought.

I am wondering if I pawned something that I rented from buddys home furnishing and now the pawnshop sold it. I have been paying them even though, BUT now I am really hard up for money and cannot make the payment. Can they press criminal charges on me for not paying them?

Selling Rental Property is a felony and on top of that if you stole it from your friend which you obviously did that also is a felony. You know many people steal and pawn and are hard up for money because they use drugs. Is that an issue-maybe getting clean would help the situation

Okay im gonna use fake names for this.

My three friends Jim, Dana, and Crystal went to the movies and decided to go back to Jims house. Jim is in his twenties, Dana and Crystal are underage. When they got there, two underage boys were there drinkin a little bit with Jims brother. Jim went into the livingroom and started to watch some tv. Dana and Crystal were in the kitchen and decided to try a alcoholic beverage that was in the fridge. The alcoholic beverage wasnt his, but someone elses that was there before. He then came into the kitchen, and after he saw what they were doing he made them stop. The cops showed up and charged Jim with furnishing to minors, Dana, Crystal, and the two underage boys with minors in possesion. Dana, Crystal, and the two underage boys are not what im worried about, its Jim. How can i prove that he didnt really furnish the alcohol to them?

You can't,

when it's the cop's word against yours, the judge & jury always believe the cop.

I was holding a cup of alcohol for one of my friends ad then a cop came over and we got in trouble. We were both underage. But i was;t drinking it i was just holding it for him. Is that still considered furnishing alcohol for a minor?

Yes. It is in your possession, so it is yours. Maybe you could work out some type of deal with the police to get a lesser charge, but this doesn't usually happen with alcohol related infractions.
