Yes and no. Its illegal for a minor to possess or consume alcohol in Texas. There is an affirmative defense if the minor is in the "visible" presence of his/her parent or spouse. I have had my 18 year old Marine son served while out and showed the bartender both of our ID's confirming he was my son with police at the bar next to me. Some places will do that others will not.
