Austin Underage DWI Lawyer

Underage Drinking & Driving Is Not Tolerated in Texas

When a person under the age of 21 makes the decision to drink and drive in the state of Texas, they can be charged with DWI (driving while intoxicated) commonly known as DUI (driving under the influence). Texas has a zero-tolerance policy for anyone underage person who drinks and then drives a motor vehicle. Even just a small trace of alcohol in an underage drinker's system can lead to their arrest and very serious consequences. 

In the state of Texas, underage drinkers can face the loss of their driving privileges for years to come, jail time and a $500 fine. In addition, they face cancellation by insurance companies, higher insurance premiums and many other penalties that may be imposed by the criminal court system.
