Underage drinking and driving is a serious offense with potentially serious consequences. You can be convicted of a Class C misdemeanor crime and also lose your driver’s license.
If you have been charged with underage drinking, you should retain an experienced DUI Defense Lawyer who will do everything possible to protect your rights and interests.
With offices in Frisco, Denton, Colleyville and Lewisville, DUI Defense Lawyer Karen Alexander (founder of Alexander & Associates) provides a strong defense for individuals charged with underage drinking and driving (DUI) throughout the Tarrant County, Denton County and Collin County area.
As a former prosecuting attorney for Denton County, Ms. Alexander has significant experience handling DUI / DWI cases, and she understands how to build a strong defense and exploit weaknesses in the state’s case against you. She and Elizabeth Windley personally investigate the facts, read the files, and review any video to determine if the police made any mistakes that can be used to your advantage. They use their background and experience to provide you with an outstanding defense designed to obtain the best possible results.

An underage DUI does not carry the same penalties as charges for adult DUI / DWI. No jail time can be imposed; however, it is a Class C misdemeanor that is punishable by fine and suspension of your driver’s license for a significant period of time.
With an underage DUI, there are two hearings at which you might have your license suspended: the ALR hearing and the criminal hearing. We can represent you at both. As with adult DWI, if you are charged with an underage DUI, you have 15 days to request an ALR hearing (which is separate from the criminal hearing), or you will automatically have your driver’s license suspended.
If you have been charged with DUI for underage drinking and driving, retain the counsel of an experienced defense attorney who has the knowledge and background to provide you with the best possible defense.
For additional information about underage drinking and driving laws in Texas, or to discuss your specific charges, schedule a confidential consultation with DUI defense lawyer Karen Alexander by calling us at 972-420-6570 (Frisco office), 972-420-6560 (Lewisville office) or 817-756-4040 (Colleyville office). If you prefer, fill out our intake form and we will contact you to schedule a consultation.
Remember, you only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to request an ALR hearing to retain your driving privileges; otherwise, your license will automatically be suspended.
