Texas ZERO TOLERANCE LAW. Texas has tough alcohol-related laws for minors,
and Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a problem
that affects all Texans. Texas enacted laws to
discourage drivers from drinking and driving, and
to make Texas roads safer.
Texas defines a “minor” for alcohol-related offenses as
someone under 21 years of age. A minor may not
purchase, attempt to purchase, consume, or possess an
alcoholic beverage. The Texas ZERO TOLERANCE law
makes it illegal for any minor to operate a motor vehicle,
including a watercraft, in a public place while having ANY
detectable amount of alcohol in their system. It is a
criminal offense of Driving under the Influence of
Alcohol by a Minor (DUIA by a Minor). The 0.08%
blood alcohol content (BAC) legal limit of intoxication
does not apply to minors.
How the Law Works for Minors
A police officer with reasonable suspicion or probable
cause that an offense has occurred may stop a vehicle.
The officer may ask the driver to perform one or more
field sobriety tests. In the case of a minor, if the officer
believes there is ANY detectable alcohol in the minor’s
system, the minor may be:
• Arrested and the vehicle towed
• Handcuffed and taken to a police department or
county jail
• Given the opportunity to take a breath test
• Taken to a hospital or clinic for a blood test, or
• Not be requested to provide breath or blood
because the presence of alcohol was detected or
measured by other means
The officer decides what method to detect the presence
of alcohol is appropriate. However, if someone dies or is
seriously injured in an accident, a breath or blood sample
can be required.
Implied Consent Laws for Minors
As is the case with adults, a minor implies their consent
to take one or more breath or blood specimens for
analysis if they are arrested for operating a motor vehicle
or watercraft in a public place while intoxicated. A minor
may be required to provide a specimen of breath or
blood if there is ANY detectable or noticeable amount of
alcohol in their system while operating a motor vehicle in
a public place as deemed by a law enforcement officer.
The breath or blood specimen will determine if alcohol is
present in their body. The blood specimen can also
identify other controlled substances or drugs.
