No, it's a harsh punishment for giving alcohol for someone under 21.

Adults and minors who give alcohol to a minor also face a stiff penalty. The punishment for making alcoholic beverages available to a minor is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine up to $4,000, confinement in jail for up to a year, or both. Additionally, the violator will have his or her driver´s license automatically suspended for 180 days upon conviction.

Persons 21 or older (other than the parent or guardian) can be held liable for damages caused by intoxication of a minor under 18 if the adult knowingly provided alcoholic beverages to a minor or knowingly allowed the minor to be served or provided alcoholic beverages on the premises owned or leased by the adult.

Sale to a minor is a class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine up to $4,000, confinement up to a year in jail, or both.

No, in Texas it is illegal for a parent to buy alcohol for a minor. It is against the law to provide alcohol to anyone under the age of 21, even if they are the parent of the minor.

Your question is very vague - HOWEVER - it is illegal... (a) for anyone under the age of 18 to buy or attempt to buy alchohol. (b) for anyone over 18 to KNOWINGLY buy, or attempt to buy alcohol for consumption by persons under 18.a In the first case - the retailer would invariably be fined, and probbly lose his licence. In the second, the person buying the alcohol would be charged with supplying alcohol to a minor.
