I see both sides of the story here, he did the right thing, but then so did the school. The only way out of that mess would have been for him to not be honest, and hide the beer, which isn't the best (moral) path either.

But then, it was Texas, he is probably being punished for not bringing enough for everyone!

Just like I said:

"Livingston Independent School District wouldn't talk to Eyewitness News on camera but in a statement said, "The principal of Livingston High School followed appropriate LISD administrative procedures and protocol. LISD encourages any parent who is in disagreement with an administrative decision to seek relief through the appellate process as provided through Livingston ISD policies. Livingston ISD policies may be accessed through the Livingston ISD Homepage."

Interpreted into English, this is roughly: I don't have the spine or ability to think independently so I will blanket apply this arbitrary punishment from our handbook.
