Zero Tolerance For Underage DUI/DWI

Texas has a zero tolerance law when it comes to underage DWI. This means drivers under age 21 can face significant consequences for getting behind the wheel with any amount of alcohol in their system. The penalties can include:

  • A lengthy license suspension
  • Steep fines
  • Community service
  • Participation in an alcohol awareness course
  • Jail time (for certain repeat offenses)

What’s more, drivers between ages 18 and 20 with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or higher could face DUI charges in the adult court system. A conviction would mean a permanent criminal record.

Those facing underage DUI or drinking charges also face another layer of potential consequences outside of the criminal justice system. School disciplinary measures may result in suspension or expulsion.
What few people realize: Underage drinking can cost you your driver’s license — even if you never got behind the wheel.
