When Minors Are Charged With DUI or DWI
Texas is a “zero tolerance” state for people under the age of 21. This means that minors can face severe consequences for driving after drinking alcohol. Under Texas law, they have committed a DUI if they have any detectable amount of alcohol in their systems while driving. If a minor is convicted of driving with a blood alcohol level of more than .08, the offense is considered DWI.
You Have 15 Days to Save Your License
Under Texas law, you have 15 days from the date you received a notice of suspension to request an administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing. This means that you have 15 days to prevent an automatic suspension of your driving privileges.
Failing to request the hearing will mean suspension of your license for 90 days if you failed a breath test, 180 days if you refused the test, or even longer if you have a prior DWI/DUI offense. When you have been arrested for DWI/DUI, it is important take action — talk with an attorney at The Kyle Law Firm as soon as possible.
