Hello frens. I was caught in a gas station while working for selling beer to minor. The TABC gave me citation. When I checked it with the court after two weeks, they told me that I have warrant. 

how's that possible?  did you miss the court date or something ?  if you were to be arrested the TABC would have handcuffed you right then ?  but if they issued a citation ........how can you have a warrant...and if you had a warrant they would have hunted you down by now ........

not a big deal if in texas just hire a good lawyer pay fine do community service dun miss court date thts it all they want is our hard workin money n all this is drama dude take care

Did you do tabc certification for serving alcohol? If not, do it asap and present it in court. They will forgive you for the first time with a fine.
But, abc laws always keep changing so check what's going on now.

TABC works with local law enforcement and arrest you red handed at the moment you sell or serve alcohol to a minor. However, it's not true if you are tabc certified. That means if you have taken the safe alcohol serving class either physical or online and passed the test, got certificate and you present to the officer at the scene then they do not handcuff and take you to jail, rather write a citation and summon you to the court. But as the original poster said, he/she was not arrested at the scene, then I suppose he/she was already tabc certified, or worked in an exempt county, or officers made an error, or may be just got lucky.
To all who has to sell or serve alcohol, please get certified. If you don't have time, you can also take online class. Go to learn2serve.com and take the class. It only takes about 3-4 hours. And its not boring. Its fun with all the animations and conversations. The best part is you will sell or serve alcohol more confidently the next day and after and you will be at less risk. Be ABC certified and be a responsible server today. For those in Texas, use txonline as promo code at learn2serve.com to get $5 discount out of $25 dollar (not quite sure but less than 40) class fees.

dreamer,

When you have been given the ticket for selling to minors, you must have to pay fine within certain period. You should not make delay at all.  For this you have to visit yourself before they issue warrant.( That means you should visit find your name and pay bill) (But usually they themselves misplace our name depending upon city/ county).

@ Atomic .Thnkx for the reply. yea they did not arrested me at the spot. They told me that they would contact me within 2 weeks bt they never did. Afterwards when I went to Fort worth court at dallas, they told me that i have a warrant. I hired one lawyer, he told me that he would bail my bond and work on the case to be dismissed. Do you know what are the chances of deportation? and yea i took course after the event happened (one day after). Do you think that will work? Do you have any idea what will be the charge that lawyer will bill me.

and yea probation means i cannot study for one year right?

This is what happens when you sell alcohol to minors and spoil them ..pay the price now and dont act as a victim

@ Nepali hero.. I am not acting like victim just trYing find the waY ok.. IF YOU CANNOT HELP OUT.. JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.. DONT POST ANYTHNG OUT HERE IN MY POST

its your fault why did u sell liqour to a minor that is a very serious crime..u should have thought about it when u sold it

Don't worry about deportation and such issue. Just act as you are from here. The first thing is that they will not ask you where are you from? and all those question. Its just about you going to jail and coming out. However if your license seems "temporary visitor" and at some point or moment they ask you knowing or seeing your "ID", tell them I am working on CPT or tell them I am working 20 hours a week taking authority from college. Just tell like this before they ask something. However, if they don't know about your status and just ask you randomly, tell them I am from here. Be confidence. But usually no one gonna ask you "where are you from". Be patience and stick confidence on yourself.

@ Atomic. Thanks for your support. I will try as best as I can... Thnks and yes which state are you living?

Brother! to your answer I have lived my life in Texas but not now.

Well I forgot to tell you about the probation. No, it does not mean that you cannot go to college and study. Its nothing like that at all. You will just have to do some community services, its not that hard; you will learn a lot in your life, make some police officers friends, couple of hours of labor work, there might be restriction on traveling beyond city/county limit etc. It might be a year or six months or even may not be depending upon decision of the judge. But basically its nothing like such kinda activity which will affect on your study. 

thanks atomic

i dont think there will be any deportation. i have been living in texas for 5 yrs, and have seen and heard a lot of guys getting ticket, but havent seen one getting deported. its just a in and out of the jail within couple hours. and rest lawyer will take care of it. and for the lawyer fee i think around 2000, and 1000 dollar worth bail bond. i am telling you wht i have deal with my frn. he was really scared, but nothing happened.

hey thnkx roker, does he has any criminal record right now?
