Answers:
You have to be 18 but you'll be hard-pressed to find someone willing to give you a bartending job if you're under the drinking age, unless you're really hot! J/K

Here's info from the TABC (Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission):

How old does a person need to be to become TABC certified and sell or serve alcoholic beverages!?
There is no minimum age for attending a server training course!. Depending on the type of permit held by the establishment, there may or may not be age limits for serving/selling alcohol!. The limits are as follows:

Off-Premises License or Permit (e!.g!. most grocery or convenience stores) - no age restriction on employees
On-Premises License or Permit (e!.g!. bar or restaurant) – must be 18 or over to serve/sell
License or Permit (e!.g!. bar or restaurant) – must be 18 or over to serve/sell
Package Store (liquor store) – employees must be 21 or over
Wine Only Package Store (store that sells wine for off-premise consumption containing a higher alcohol content than your typical grocery store) – employees must be 16 or over!.
