A Driving Under the Influence is a class "C" misdemeanor. This means that you can not receive
jail time but you can be fined up to $500.00. (for a first offense, for subsequent offenses you can receive
significant jail time). However, along with this fine can be probation, along with community service and
alcohol awareness classes. Likewise, the Texas Department of Public Safety will issue a notice of suspension
and suspend the minors drivers license in the majority of these cases. This license suspension is the
same administrative license revocation (ALR) process that is used in adult cases.Counsult with a local Killeen dui
attorney how you can possibly avoid losing your license.
In summary, a person under 21 is not allowed to drink any alcohol and then drive a car. If an officer testifies
that he or she smelled an alcoholic beverage on a minors breath during a traffic stop then the minor will be cited
for DUI. Again, this is true even if the officer feels the minor is both below the .08 legal limit and has not lost
the normal use of his/her mental facilities, but has consumed "some" alcohol. If a minor's case is mishandled it
can have terrible long-term effects on the minors criminal record and lengthy drivers license suspensions. It is
therefore very important that these cases are taken seriously. Get an experienced Bell County dui
attorney to handle your case properly by calling 254-634-2587. Your calls are welcome.
If you've been arrested for DUI in Killeen, Waco or Temple, you have 15 days from the date of arrest to request

skilled Copperas Cove dui lawyer at the Brown Law Firm before you lose your right to an
Administrative License Revocation Hearing.
Texas DUI arrests trigger two separate cases: First, there is the Texas DUI criminal case, where a variety of
criminal punishments can be imposed by the court. These DUI punishments may include fines, jail, mandatory alcohol
education, ignition interlock devices ordered, and more. However, every Texas DUI arrest also gives rise to a
separate civil action against that person's Texas driving privileges. NOTE: IT IS URGENT THAT YOU CONTACT AND EXPERIENCE KILLEEN DUI LAWYER AT ONCE TO PROTECT YOUR DRIVER'S
LICENSE IF YOU'VE BEEN CHARGED WITH A DRUNK DRIVING RELATED OFFENSE IN TEXAS.
