Yes, maybe.

State law appears to say it is acceptable for a minor to posses and consume liquor if in the visible presence of their parents or of-age spouse.
"Sec.106.04
(b) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the alcoholic beverage was consumed in the visible presence of the minor's adult parent, guardian, or spouse."

"Sec. 106.05
(b) A minor may possess an alcoholic beverage:
(2) if the minor is in the visible presence of his adult parent, guardian, or spouse, or other adult to whom the minor has been committed by a court"

However in Texas the county has final say in all alcohol laws, meaning this may vary and if you are worried about it, it's best to check with the county court/law office.

Wow, you're a little slow.

21 is 21.

no. unfortunately, drinking age is based on the individual's age.

Yes if you are both married, it IS. I bartend and am TABC certified (Texas Alchohol and Beverage Commission). Apparently the posters on here are neither a resident of Texas or know the laws regarding minors.

According to Sec. 106.06.- PURCHASE OF ALCOHOL FOR A MINOR; FURNISHING ALCOHOL TO A MINOR:
(b) A person may purchase an alcoholic beverage for or give an alcoholic beverage to a minor if he is the minor's adult parent, guardian, or spouse, or an adult in whose custody the minor has been committed by a court, and he is visibly present when the minor possesses or consumes the alcoholic beverage.

If the drinking age is 21 you need to be 21. So no it is not legal

No unless you are living back in the '80's.
