If the section 106.06 quote on the previous page is right, it explictly allows parents to do it. It's not an affirmative defense or a defense to prosecution because the law says they may do it so it's not a crime.

I think it's the child who has an affirmative defense but the parent is explictly allowed if they maintain visual contact.

It's good to know the legislature doesn't expect the TABC to arrest Roman Catholic parents who allow their child to receive the Eucharist, Jewish parents who allow their child to have wine at the seder, or sports fan parents who give their child a sip of their beer at a baseball game.

A 51% establishment cannot allow folks under 18 on the premises.

I'm certain that isn't true. Minors can't sit at the bar and they have to leave by 9pm.

Where is that in the law? I know some country dance halls that are 51% but don't kick out families at 9pm.

Maybe they're just against people trying to make something a gun issue when it really isn't.

If a licensee didn't post the right signs, complain about that. There's no need to mention guns. They are required to post certain signs so complain about the signs and only the signs unless you're trying to confuse the issue.

Anyway, we know that TABC was responsive to adding the sign information (RED or BLUE) to the online query, so there's at least one person at TABC who is pro CHL or very focused on serving the public.
