"arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission "
I didn't know it was their job to arrest people.

Oh yes. As a matter of fact, they are one of only two law enforcement agencies in Texas who can enter a home without a search warrant; the other being Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. TABC can arrest a person for any crime; not just those that are alcohol related. They have a lot of authority.
power hungry under cover agents.
I remember them busting people all the time growing up. They always caught people trying to sell beer to minors.
