WHAT IS A DUI?

A DUI is Driving Under the Influence.

A DUI is charged under the Texas Traffic Code and is only issued to minors (those under the age of 21). Accordingly, a minor may be charged with a DUI if they are driving with any amount of alcohol in their system, but are still under the legal limit (blood alcohol content of .08). Typical penalties for a DUI include a fine of up to $500, up to 40 hours of community service, mandatory alcohol awareness classes and a license suspension of up to 60 days. Please note, juveniles may still be charged with a DUI for underage drunk driving.
