Minors, persons less than 21 years of age, face a “zero tolerance” policy that exposes persons possessing or consuming alcohol to criminal penalties and blemishes on the permanent record. If the minor can receive deferred adjudication probation and successfully complete the requirements, then an experienced attorney can help one expunge (erase) that record. Multiple or repeat offenses lead to driver license suspensions.
MIP citations are issued where a law enforcement officer can show that a minor attempts to purchase, touch, hold, transport, or consume alcohol.
