Texas Supreme Court

Tyler Reeder, Petitioner v. Andrew Paul Daniel, Respondent

November 8, 200145 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 85

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Texas law does not create a civil cause of action for social‑host liability when a minor provides alcohol to another minor, reversing the appellate court’s judgment against Tyler Reeder. The Court declined to recognize both a negligence‑per‑se claim and an ordinary negligence duty for social hosts, citing legislative intent and the structure of the Alcoholic Beverage Code.
