Alcohol, Drugs & DUI Penalties

For a driver under age 21 in Texas, drinking and driving is illegal with:

  • A.A BAC of 0.08 or higher only
  • B.Any detectable amount of alcohol in their system
  • C.A BAC above 0.10 only
  • D.Alcohol only if a parent is not present
Correct answer

B. Any detectable amount of alcohol in their system

Why

Texas has zero tolerance for minors: a driver under 21 commits an offense with any detectable amount of alcohol. That is separate from, and stricter than, the 0.08 limit for adults.
