What Is at Stake When Facing an Under-21 DUI Charge in Addison?
You may face an Under-21 DUI charge if you were:
- Operating a motor vehicle while under the age of 21
- Stopped by a law enforcement officer
- Administered a Breathalyzer test, blood test, or field sobriety test that indicated you had any alcohol in your system
So long as you did not have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more, you will generally face an Under-21 DUI charge. If you did have a BAC of .08% or more at the time of the arrest, it may have been the officer’s discretion of whether to charge you with DWI, a charge with more severe penalties.
In any case, you now face an Under-21 DUI charge and the legal penalties it carries.
Legal Punishments for an Under-21 DUI Conviction in Addison
As the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) explains, those facing their first Under-21 DUI conviction are at risk of:
- Paying a $500 fine
- Suffering a two-month driver’s license suspension
- Having to complete a mandatory alcohol education course
- Having to perform up to 40 hours of community service
Perhaps most importantly, you’re at risk of having a DUI conviction on your record.
The Consequences of an Under-21 DUI Conviction Extend Beyond Your Record
Even once you have completed any legal sanctions that stem from an Under-21 DUI conviction, you may continue to suffer additional consequences, including:
- Questions (and possible rejections) from university admissions boards
- Questions (and more possible rejections) from prospective employers
- Mental health problems stemming from the shame and hardship of an Under-21 DUI conviction
