My question involves criminal law for the state of: texas
i am 16 and i was recently caught purchasing alcohol from a gas station. to be more specific, i actually purchased it, and was caught as i was walking out and getting into the car. i was taken to the police station to get my picture and fingerprints done, and then i was released to my parent. i have never been in trouble with the law and i have a clean slate [so far]. i am an outstanding student- i'm in the top 2% if my class, in orchestra, national honor society, spanish national honor society, national math honor society, academic octathlon, academic integrity committee, jv swimming. i was selected as a national merit commended scholar and have never gotten in trouble.
i have a couple of questions
1. will i be charged with purchasing AND possessing alcohol?
2. what are the likely consequences of this?
3. does me being an outstanding student make a difference in this situation?
4. will this go on my record?
5. will this affect my chances of getting into college/career?
