The Justice of the Peace (JP) or municipal courts handle class C misdemeanor charges in many states, including Texas. However, when some people face these charges related to DUIs, they assume they are “harmless and consequence-less charges.” Sadly, they forget that all crimes have negative and lingering consequences. Some of the alcohol or drug-related charges are:

• • Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

  • Minor in Possession of Alcohol (MIP)

  • A minor consuming alcohol

  • Public Intoxication (PI)

  • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (PODP)

As I said earlier, no crime is consequence-free. All these charges can land you in trouble many years later, even after thinking you paid a small fine and walked away free. Some of the consequences include:

• Paying a fine of up to $500 per charge

• Your driver’s license could be suspended

• The courts could compel you to serve the community

• The courts may compel you to take a drug and alcohol-related class
