What is the duty of peace officers under TABC §101.07?

• A. Enforce all provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Code and cooperate with the TABC in doing so.
• B. Enforce only local ordinances related to alcohol.
• C. Issue licenses and permits to establishments.
• D. Widen the scope to general law enforcement beyond alcohol.

Answer: (A)

Peace officers are charged with enforcing all provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Code and cooperating with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission in enforcing and investigating violations. This means their role isn’t limited to local alcohol rules or licensing duties; they actively uphold the entire code and work with the TABC to enforce it. Licensing and permits are handled by the TABC, not peace officers, and expanding enforcement beyond alcohol isn’t what the statute requires.
