You have a very important part on your teenage daughter’s driving. You could be involved in saving money for her car insurance in Houston, Texas by riding with her sometimes to be sure that her driving skills will not be lax and she still understands the significance of following the traffic regulations. You have to be a good example for her also by not showing that you are disobeying traffic rules because she might mimic that attitude. You can also speak with her about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. This might be hard to talk over with her but you have to take your shot so that it could lessen the chance that she may take part in such an act.
You might also want to just add her to your auto insurance policy so that you could pass on some discounts you could get. Tell your daughter how much her portion is on your car insurance even if they don’t have to pay it and speak with her about what she could do about getting discounts and saving some money on the insurance coverage. This way, they’d feel a sense of responsibility about the auto insurance and would drive safely so that you won’t have increased insurance rates.

Reader’s Question:
I’m so concerned about my daughter because she likes to party a lot and often times drives her way home drunk. My daughter is 17 years old. My husband has once been charged with DWI here in Houston Texas and served more than three months of jail time. What are the consequences that my teen daughter might be facing if she will be caught drunk and driving?

Thanks for asking, Eileen
The Texas law states that a minor (under age 21) commits an offense if he or she operates a motor vehicle in a public place while having any detectable amount of alcohol in the minor’s system.
If your teenage daughter will be charged with DWI in Houston, since she is under 18 years old, the court will require you, as a parent, to be present with your daughter at every court appearance. The parent can be forced to attend by the court. If a minor will be convicted with DWI in Texas, penalties include fine of $500-$2,000, jail time up to 180 days and community service for 20-40 hours.
I suggest you talk to her as soon as possible to make her aware of the consequences she might be facing if she will be charged with DWI.
