The Reality Reports

Criminal Charges Always Need Representation: If you face criminal charges of any kind, even minor ones, hire an attorney immediately. Criminal convictions can result in jail time, fines, and permanent records that affect future employment and housing opportunities. The criminal justice system is complex, and prosecutors have extensive legal training. Attempting to defend yourself puts you at a serious disadvantage. Most states allow you to contact an attorney before deciding whether to take breathalyzer or blood tests if arrested for driving under the influence.

Legal Exceptions For Underage Drinking In Texas: Texas law allows minors to consume alcohol under specific circumstances.  According to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, minors can legally drink if they are in the visible presence of their parent, legal guardian, or adult spouse.  This exception also applies to religious ceremonies, such as communion. However, it does not extend to public places like restaurants, where stricter rules apply.
