Understanding the Texas Safe Harbor provisions within the Dram Shop laws is essential when assessing liability and building a strong defense. The Texas Dram Shop Act holds alcohol-serving establishments liable if they provide alcohol to someone who is “obviously intoxicated” and that individual causes harm. However, the Safe Harbor defense offers protection—if specific criteria are met.
Employee attendance at approved training programs is a critical point of analysis. Our expert reviews focus on verifying if businesses maintained accurate and reliable records proving attendance and compliance. These records are essential to demonstrating responsible alcohol service and establishing legal protection under Safe Harbor.
As Dram Shop expert witnesses, we assist attorneys in determining whether the Safe Harbor defense can be applied by carefully evaluating the employee training and attendance components required by law. Specifically, businesses must not only mandate TABC-approved seller training but must also prove the employee who served alcohol attended such training and that the employer did not encourage unlawful conduct.
We provide detailed expert witness analysis that helps attorneys assess whether Safe Harbor compliance was met and if an establishment’s policies and records support or undermine its defense. Attendance is more than an operational issue—it’s a legal threshold for immunity.
Retain our expert witness services to assess whether employee training and attendance records satisfy the Safe Harbor criteria under the Texas Dram Shop Act and gain the evidence-based insight that your case demands.
