Underage DWI Can You Get a DUI if You Don't Have a License?

Yes, you can get a DUI even if you don’t have a license. Depending on why you do not have a license, you might face separate charges for driving without a license and driving under the influence (DUI).

In general, driving without a license is a Class C misdemeanor and may be punished with fines. According to the Texas Transportation Code §521.457, you may also be charged with this offense if you are guilty of driving with an expired license or a license that was suspended or revoked.

However, if you were pulled over for a DUI in Dallas and the police officer discovered that your license was suspended or revoked, you might face separate penalties for both DUI and driving with an invalid license. Depending on the reason for your license suspension, you might still be able to fight for lesser penalties.

Underage People Can Be Charged with DUI and Other Alcohol Offenses

You might be more concerned about a DUI charge than a driving without a license charge, as DUIs have higher penalties and could stain a person’s driving record if the charge leads to a conviction.

Alcohol laws are different for underage drinkers, or people who are younger than 21 years of age. People of legal drinking age might be charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher (or 0.04 percent for commercial license holders). However, underage drivers may get charged with DUI for having any alcohol in their system or their vehicle.

Texas law is strict on people under 21 to prevent as much underage drinking as possible, which means people under 21 might also face criminal charges for other alcohol-related offenses. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS), these charges might be related to:

Buying or attempting to buy alcohol
Lying about your age to buy or drink alcohol
Drinking alcohol
Being in possession of alcohol
Being drunk in public

Many of these offenses can lead to license suspension even if you were not driving or intending to drive.

If you decide to work with a lawyer, they might review your case to see if you were lawfully arrested or if you were aware that you were consuming alcohol. For example, you might not have been read your Miranda rights, or you might have consumed a spiked drink. The key is to not panic, communicate with your lawyer, and see where your case might stand.

Your Lawyer Might Be Able to Lower Your Fines if Your License Was Expired

By law, all drivers in Texas must drive with a valid license. However, sometimes people get caught in an awkward window when their driver’s license expires. They might have renewed their license online and were waiting for their new license to come in the mail, or they might have just forgotten to renew their license by accident.

According to the Texas Transportation Code §521.025, driving without a license is punishable with a fine up to $200 on the first offense. However, per the Texas Transportation Code §521.026, you might be able to have the judge dismiss this charge if you agree to renew your license within 20 business days or before your first court appearance date, whichever date comes afterward.

Driving Under the Influence with a Suspended License Can Complicate Your Case

If you were driving with a suspended or revoked license, your case might get complicated depending on the reason for license suspension or revocation.

If your license was made invalid for a nonalcohol-related reason, such as having too many parking tickets, your lawyer might be able to lessen your penalties because your license suspension is unrelated to alcohol offenses.

However, if your license was suspended because of a previous DUI offense, you might face challenges. Driving with a suspended license may be listed as an aggravating factor in your case, which would showcase poor judgment. In this case, it may be important to scrutinize how you were arrested, your specific rights, and other legal factors related to your case.

Know Your Rights

In Texas, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. This is encoded in Texas Penal Code §2.01. This law also states that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. In other words, it is up to the other side to prove their case “beyond a reasonable doubt.” If they cannot do that, you cannot be convicted.

Being convicted of a crime can affect you both short-term and long-term. In the short term, you could face:

Prison time that pulls you away from your family and other responsibilities
Fines and fees that affect you financially
Other penalties specific to the charges against you (e.g., suspension of your driver license)

In the long term, your reputation could suffer, impacting your work and social relationships. In addition, some convictions, such as DWI (driving while intoxicated), may stay on your record for the rest of your life. This conviction may impact your ability to get a job, get into the school of your choice, rent an apartment, buy a gun, and much more.

You Will Need to Decide if You Want a Lawyer

Legally speaking, you are entitled to a lawyer, but you do not have to hire one. As long as you are informed of your rights beforehand, you can refuse legal representation and go it alone, or “pro se.” This term means you and you alone are responsible for preparing and delivering your defense, as affirmed by the Legal Information Institute (LII).

With that in mind, you may wish to, at the very least, consult an attorney before you decide whether or not to hire one. The Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg offers free consultations to all callers. During the consultation, you will describe your situation to a member of our team. They will explain your options and tell you if and how a lawyer can help.

At the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg, we understand that being charged with any crime is frightening. Just remember that you are not alone. We are one hundred percent committed to making sure that everyone receives the legal representation they deserve. Our team represents people who have been charged with a wide range of misdemeanors and felonies, including:

Driving while intoxicated
Driving under the influence
Boating while intoxicated
Intoxication assault

Drug possession and other drug-related crimes
Family violence
Weapons charges
Prostitution

Call us today at (214) 696-9253 to discuss your case with our team. We know that your need for legal representation is not restricted to normal working hours, so we have people standing by to take your call all day, every day.

What a Southlake Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You

Whether your case is complex or straightforward, whether this is your first offense or you have been convicted before, and whether you are facing state or federal charges, the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg wants to help. Here are some of the possible actions a lawyer from our firm can take on your behalf:

Investigating

The police are already conducting an investigation into your case. Now it is your lawyer’s turn to start their own investigation. They will look at all available evidence (e.g., witness statements, police reports, or surveillance video). This evidence may turn up inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case, police misconduct, or something else your lawyer can use in your defense.

Negotiating

Even if you have already been charged, this does not mean that your charges are final. In fact, depending on your case, your lawyer may spend a lot of time bargaining to change, reduce, or dismiss the charges against you.

Obviously, a dismissal would be the best-case scenario, meaning all charges against you have been dropped, and you are free to go without penalty. However, dismissal is not always possible. In that case, we may argue for a charge reduction instead. For example, getting your charge reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor can save you money and prison time.

We can also bargain for more lenient penalties. For example, according to the Texas Office of Court Administration (OCA), deferred adjudication (i.e., probation) will enable you to avoid prison and keep your record clean.

The approach your lawyer takes will depend on what you have been charged with and whether you have any prior convictions, among other things.

Advocating

If your case does go to court, you will not have to go alone. Your lawyer will represent you in the courtroom by submitting evidence to the judge, locating and examining witnesses on the stand, delivering oral arguments to the jury, and much more.

Advising

You may be feeling confused or overwhelmed by the legal process and wondering what it means for you and your future. Your lawyer can help you with that, too. If and when you have a question about any aspect of your case, do not hesitate to ask for clarification. We will do everything possible to relieve your concerns and ensure you understand what is happening at all times.

First-degree felony: imprisonment for 5 to 99 years or for life and $10,000 in fines
Second-degree felony: imprisonment for 2 to 20 years and $10,000 in fines
Third-degree felony: imprisonment for 2 to 10 years and $10,000 in fines
State jail felony: imprisonment for 180 days to 2 years and $10,000 in fines

If you are arrested for and charged with a misdemeanor, you might face these penalties:

Class A misdemeanor: incarceration for 1 year and $4,000 in fines
Class B misdemeanor: incarceration for 180 days and $2,000 in fines
Class C misdemeanor: $500 in fines

The Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg can explain the type of charges and possible penalties you are facing. We can also explain the steps we might be able to take to try to minimize the potential harm to you, your family, and your reputation.

How a Criminal Conviction Can Change Your Life

If you or someone you love is convicted of a crime, it might cause temporary embarrassment and have long-term negative consequences. Some limitations a criminal conviction might lead to include the following:

A criminal conviction can make employment opportunities and career advancement difficult to obtain.

After certain types of arrests, you might not be able to have your records sealed if you are convicted.

Being arrested for a crime does not automatically have to lead to a conviction. When the Law Offices of Randall B.

Our Team Investigates Your Arrest

When we mutually agree to work together, our team investigates every aspect of your arrest and the circumstances that led to it. We look for details and legal inconsistencies with the law that may work in your favor. Our team will find out if you were:

Criminal Penalties for DWI in Texas

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Farmers Branch is a serious crime with serious penalties and possible penalty enhancements. Even an underage driver can be charged with DWI versus DUI, at the discretion of the arresting police officer and circumstances of their arrest. Potential penalties include:

First-Offense DWI – up to 6 months incarceration
Second-Offense DWI – up to a year of incarceration

In addition, the state’s sentencing guidelines allow the court to request higher sentences according to certain factors of your arrest and BAC results. Possible sentence enhancements include:

DWI with BAC of 0.15 or higher – charges increase from Class B to Class A misdemeanor
DWI with an open container of alcohol in your car – charges increase from Class B to Class A misdemeanor with jail time
DWI accident that caused injuries – charges increase from misdemeanor to felony

In addition, if you are convicted of DWI that led to an accident, you will never be able to have your record sealed. This, alone, is a reason to hire our DWI defense team to help you fight hard against a criminal conviction and preserve your good name.

A DWI Conviction Has Far-Reaching Effects

Being unable to obtain certain types of employment
Difficulty obtaining your preferred housing options
Lack of access to government funding for higher education

Texas has a zero-tolerance policy for driving under the influence of alcohol by a minor (DUI). For drivers under the age of 21, any amount of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) that shows up on a field sobriety test allows an officer to perform a DUI arrest.

If you are under 21 and charged with DUI, then you may be facing serious consequences. These charges may not only impede on your present life, but they can also impact your future. To name a few examples, you could have trouble getting into the university you want, having the job of your choice, and receiving a loan from the bank for a house or apartment.

Everyone who is charged with a DUI, or any crime for that matter, is entitled to legal representation. A Farmers Branch under 21 DUI lawyer from the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg may be able to help you defend your rights.

For a free consultation on your case with a member of our team, call the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg today at (214) 696-9253. Our lead attorney, Randall B. Isenberg, has over 30 years of legal experience, including careers as both a prosecutor and a state district judge. With this background, it is our top priority to serve our clients with professionalism and care.

The Difference Between DUI and DWI

It is possible that you have heard DUI and DWI used interchangeably. However, Texas law differentiates between these two terms. DUI stands for “driving under the influence of alcohol by a minor.” DWI stands for “driving while intoxicated.”

If someone is charged with DWI, it typically means that they are 21 years of age or older, and their BAC was over the legal limit, which is 0.08%. Alternatively, only minors can be charged with DUI, as their BAC should be at 0.0%.

It is important to note that the arresting officer has the discretion to charge a driver under the age of 21 with a DWI instead of a DUI. A first-offense DWI, which starts as a Class B misdemeanor, can be a much harsher penalty than a DUI.

The Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg also defends people charged with underage DWI and may be able to assist you with this type of case.

Driving Under the Influence Punishments

Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code §106.041 dictates that if a minor operates in public while having alcohol in their system, they have committed a Class C misdemeanor. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), some of the punishments for a first-time DUI offense may include:

A maximum $500 fine
A 60-day license suspension
20 to 40 hours of mandatory community service
Required alcohol awareness education courses

Possession of Alcohol

An under 21 DUI is not the only charge a minor may face when being stopped for alcohol use. Having the alcohol in the vehicle may add a minor in possession of alcohol charge to your arrest. Possible penalties of this charge include:

A maximum $500 fine
A 30- to 180-day license suspension
8 to 40 hours of mandatory community services hours
Required alcohol awareness education courses

Other alcohol-related offenses may include soliciting alcohol, attempting to purchase alcohol, or fake identification as someone who is over 21 years of age. Punishments of these offenses may vary.

You do not need to face DUI or DWI charges on your own. A Farmers Branch under 21 DUI lawyer from the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg may be able to guide you through the legal process.

DWI Charges and Penalties in Texas

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is treated seriously by the police and Texas court system, but certain factors can make your DWI charge and penalties even more severe.

One factor is repeat DWI offenses. For example, a first-offense DWI conviction may come with:

72 hours to 6 months in jail, but no mandatory jail time
A fine of up to $2,000
A driver license suspension up to 1 year

For a second-offense DWI conviction, the penalties may increase to:

30 days to 1 year in jail, with 72 hours of mandatory jail time
A fine of up to $4,000
A driver license suspension up to 2 year

Other things that can affect the severity of your charges and punishment include:

If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level is over 0.15%, the charge increases from a Class B to a Class A misdemeanor.
If there is an open alcohol container in your vehicle at the time of your arrest, the charge increases from a Class B to a Class A misdemeanor with jail time.
If the DWI causes an accident where people are injured, your misdemeanor may increase to a felony that can never be removed from your record.
If there is a child under the age of 15 in the vehicle when you are arrested for DWI, you may also be charged with child endangerment.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), you may also be punished with probation, made to attend an alcohol education program, or required to install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. In any case, the legal consequences of a DWI can be time-consuming, inconvenient, and expensive.

Life Consequences

Unfortunately, sometimes the penalties of a DWI charge are not always limited to the legal ones. A DWI charge may adversely affect you in some other ways, including:

Your career prospects: a DWI charge could cause you to lose your job or make it harder to find a new one.
Your reputation: a DWI may damage your reputation and cause people to think differently of you. It could affect your ability to obtain housing or a loan, for example, if you are suddenly seen as less reliable or potentially dangerous to others.
In family matters: it is not uncommon for a charge like a DWI to be used against people in family matters, including custody hearings.
