Miss Jenna Bush, one of the 19-year-old twin daughters of US President George W. Bush, was fined $500 and had her driver's license suspended in one alcohol-related case today and was sentenced to probation in another.

Miss Bush was put on probation for using someone else's identification to falsely show she was old enough to buy an alcoholic drink. The legal drinking age in Texas is 21.

Austin Municipal Court Judge Kerrie Key fined her $100 in court costs, required her to perform 36 hours of community service and ordered her to attend a victim impact panel to learn about alcohol's potential dangers.

Miss Bush, who was not in court and was represented by lawyer Mr William Allison, pleaded no contest to the May 31st incident in which she tried to use someone else's identification to buy a margarita at an Austin restaurant, Chuy's.

It was her second brush with the law in as many weeks.

President Bush, celebrated his 55th birthday at the family's retreat in Kennebunkport, Maine, and said his daughters were in Texas and he was looking forward to getting a call from them.
