(c) It is a defense to a prosecution alleging that an individual delivered an alcoholic beverage under this chapter to an address located in an area that is dry for the type of beverage delivered that: (1) the individual or the holder of a consumer delivery permit relied on publicly available information produced by the commission relating to the wet or dry classification of the address; and (2) the information indicated that the address to which the beverage was delivered was classified as wet for the type of beverage delivered on the date of the delivery.
