Texas is opening a new front in the war on sex trafficking, and it’s a move that should be supported in Austin and expanded across the country.
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has started training its agents and vendors to spot and report warning signs in the bars, clubs and restaurants it licenses things like accounting discrepancies and girls or women living on the premises. TABC is in a unique position; it has access to more than 50,000 licensed establishments in ways that other law enforcement doesn’t.
