Is it possible to search records online to find out if someone has been issued an MIP or DWI?

probably DWI if they were jailed or charged, but MIP's will probably be harder to find.

You can check the records here if they were in the B/CS area when it happened.

I'm pretty sure the identity of those who receive MIPs are protected since they are minors. Criminal records of minors usually is protected by law.

Barstool, the "minor" in MIP does not mean under the age of 17, it means under 21. These are usually issued to those between the ages of 18-20...my two cents...

Most of the time MIP's result in license suspensions and those show on a driving record. If you have a way to search driving records (there are some private services) then you would be able to see if their license had been suspended.

One of my old buddies from the dorm showed up for an MIP.

OK, that seems pretty mean of me...

I meant it as a joke to him, but he pry won't even see this. He was the first person we looked up when we found that site in the dorm and sure enough, his MIP was there.

Did he get arrested for something else also?

nope. The only offense listed is

---

Minor Possession Of Alcohol.

He was 20 if that makes a difference.

It is on the JP search and it seems that they list everything.

That's right, I forgot about the JP search. He must have received his MIP from UPD, TABC, DPS or a constable. They all file with JP's. MIP's written by CSPD and BPD will be filed with their municipal courts.

One exception, a couple of years ago I wrote two MIP's inside Kyle Field at a football game and those two were filed with a JP because I had to write them on a UPD officers ticket book.
