A minor who is caught driving after drinking any detectable amount of alcohol in Texas faces:
- A.No penalty if a parent is called
- B.A minor DUI offense, even below the 0.08 adult limit
- C.Only a warning on the first three occasions
- D.A penalty only if a crash occurs
Correct answer
B. A minor DUI offense, even below the 0.08 adult limit
Why
Because Texas applies zero tolerance to drivers under 21, any detectable alcohol can result in a minor DUI. The adult 0.08 threshold does not protect a minor.
