Austin Alcohol Offense Attorney
Alcohol Offense Overview
In Texas, Alcohol and intoxication offenses are taken very seriously and can be classified as either misdemeanors or felonies. Alcohol and intoxication offense can carry a wide range of punishments from fines and probation to lengthy prison sentences, usually depending on whether a motor vehicle was being operated at the time of intoxication, whether someone was injured or killed as a result of the alcohol-related offense, and a person’s previous criminal history. Whether you are charged with Felony Driving While Intoxication or Public Intoxication, conviction of an intoxication-related offense could lead to your driver’s license being suspended, affect your ability to rent an apartment, eligibility for student loans and even cost you your job or impact your ability to pursue the career of your choice.

Underage Drinking
Among college students and young adults, alcohol is the probably the single leading factor leading to criminal arrests. On campus, and at parties throughout the Austin area, consuming alcohol, driving under the influence of alcohol, and providing alcohol to minors under the age of twenty-one often lead to serious criminal consequences. Although many parties and other group functions revolve around alcohol, the law doesn't excuse the person from responsibility.
