    Default Minor in Consumption of Alcohol, in Texas

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

    Last night, I was at a New Year's Eve/My Birthday party, I turn 18 today. The cops ended up busting in because they were LOOKING for parties to bust in a town as small as ours. The patted most of the people there down, and gave everyone there a breathalyzer, because most of us were under 21. I tested a .011, and long story short I got a ticket for Minor in Consumption of Alcohol. I've never gotten a ticket before, this is my first ever, which is sad, I hardly ever drink. I don't know what to do since I was barely 17 when I got charged, are my parents going to HAVE to find out? I heard about deferred disposition, which I could do since I have a clean record I guess, but I don't know what to do. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

    Your parents WILL find out, one way or another. It would be in your best interests to tell them yourself, before they find out from your local newpaper's "log" section, or someone else's slip of the tongue, or through a notice to appear arriving in your mail.

    You'll want an attorney, and you'll need their help obtaining one.
