§ 154.188 CULPABLE MENTAL STATE REQUIRED.
   (A)   Where any provision or offense herein fails to state a necessary level of culpability to establish a violation or liability, the offense shall be established upon a showing that the person acted knowingly or recklessly with regard to the predicate act.
   (B)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for the purposes of this subchapter, an act by an employee shall be imputed to the adult business licensee to establish a violation of this subchapter, or to deny, suspend or revoke a license, only if a licensee allowed, either knowingly or recklessly, a violation of this subchapter to occur.
   (C)   It shall be a defense to liability that the adult business licensee was powerless to prevent the violation.
