Can police ask a minor to take a breath test?
Yes, the implied consent law applies to both minors and adults. Texas law deems that all persons who drive with a Texas license have already conditionally agreed, after being arrested, to take either a breath or blood test upon being properly requested to do so by a police officer. A proper request requires the officer not only to read a required statutory script to the arrestee, but also to furnish the written script to the arrestee before the test request is made.
