No. This law, effective 9/1/2001, prohibits the possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the passenger area of a motor vehicle. It does not apply to watercraft. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/faq/warden/boatinglawfaq.phtml
Maybe.... did they see you throw it out of the vehicle or - were you near enough to it so that you were in "constructive possession" of it?
There are several devices that can monitor blood alcohol concentration when a person is confined to home.
That depends, possession of what? firearms? marijuana? cocaine? Alcohol?
If it is legal for you to have possession of both a car and alcohol, then yes it is legal to have alcohol in the trunk of your car.
Except for the underage possession of alcohol charge, your age is of no relevance - you are legally an adult. There are no set punishments or sentences for criminal offenses. The court must consider the relevant state law, the facts and circumstances of the offense, and any other mitigating or aggravating factors surrounding the offense. In most (all?) cases, possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and minor in possession of alcohol are both misdemeanors. Typically, these crimes are not punished harshly, but generally bring about a fine, community service, and/or probation. However, even as misdemeanors, they can each be punished by up to 12 months in confinement.
