LUBBOCK, Texas—College students, beware.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is planning to crack down on bootlegging this fall. And that will include arresting people like Texas Tech student Nolan Newsom, who charged $8 for people to attend a June party where alcohol was provided.

The 22-year-old spent a night in jail for selling alcohol without a permit, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported Sunday.

Officials said charging money at the door falls under the bootlegging law.

That law also covers someone who buys a trunkload of liquor and sells it out of his or her home, and club owners who operate illegally.

“We’re going to look first—who’s hosting, who’s bootlegging,” said TABC Sgt. Michael Lockhart.

The bootlegging law at parties has seldom been enforced in the past, but this new crackdown will focus heavily on parties that usually crop up when school starts, Lockhart said.

Newsom’s party was the second one of the year to be shut down for bootlegging, according to the TABC. In addition, the agency has shut down two illegal clubs this year and is investigating several houses in the Lubbock region.

Newsom said he was shocked when he was arrested. He said it ultimately cost him $2,000.

Newsom got a noise permit for a country band and hired a security detail, which carded patrons before they could attend. But he did not have a permit to sell alcohol, though he maintained that the cover charge was for the band.

Lockhart said people can legally hold parties and events and sell alcohol if they get a temporary permit.

Lubbock forbids the sale of packaged alcohol within city limits. However, there are a string of liquor stores in Southeast Lubbock, known as The Strip, and alcohol is being sold in local restaurants. Neighboring towns and counties are wet.

Some bootleggers set up bars in their garage. Others conduct business out of their home on a customer-by-customer basis, or set up illegal clubs, TABC officials said.
