The state of Texas reserves the DUI charge specifically for minors under 21 years of age. Minor DUI is categorized as operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of any detectable amount of alcohol. If your minor son or daughter is arrested on suspicion of DUI, he or she may also be asked to submit to a breath test. It’s important to remember that minor drivers may refuse the breath test if arrested; however, there may be serious consequences for doing so. The minor could, also face a license suspension. Cases involving Minor DUI are typically heard at the municipal court level or justice of the peace court level.
