As an Underage Driver, what DWI Penalties do I face?

If you have been arrested for DWI and you are under the legal drinking age of 21 you could be facing penalties including but not limited to $2,000 in fines, up to 6 months in jail and a 1-year suspension of your driver's license upon conviction. Should your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level be in excess of 0.08% you could also be convicted for underage drinking and face the additional penalties associated with that crime. Law enforcement officers in Collin County are not lenient when they find underage minors driving while intoxicated. You should expect to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and you would be wise to anticipate the prosecution pursuing maximum charges in your case.
