    Default Furnishing to a Minor in Texas

    hi, i was recently charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor in tx. the police showed up to my house because we called for an ambulance to assist with someone having a stroke (which we later found out was a fake stroke). three minors were taken to jail for MIC, and only two people that were of age were taken for furnishing (myself and one other person). i checked TABC's website about the issue, and it says that only people who are leasing or owning the house are responsible for minors there. my name was not/is not on the lease, and there were approx 8 people who were of age that can testify that i did not provide alcohol to minors, all of which were not given sobriety tests. will these testimonies stand up in court? i am willing to take this charge to trial, will the state most likely drop the charge or continue to pursue a conviction? also, the TABC website says that if convicted my DL will be suspended for 180 days. i attempted to renew my license online earlier today, i was informed that i was not elligible to renew it this way, could this be because i have this charge pending, or is there some kind or automatic suspension similar to that which is incurred when charged with a DWI?

    thanks

    You call it "my house" then say you don't own or rent. So it's your parents' house? What is the exact statute you are charged with violating?

    TABC guidelines are not the final word on the Texas justice system or the Texas Penal Code. As aaron asked, what is the exact charge? Is it safe to say that a TABC agent did NOT issue this citation?
