AUSTIN, Texas (AP) A charge that one of President Bush's twin daughters used someone else's identification to try to buy a margarita in a restaurant has been dismissed.

The charge was dropped after 19-year-old Jenna Bush showed proof that she performed community service, attended alcohol awareness classes and paid a $100 fine, city spokeswoman Linda Rivera said Tuesday.

Jenna Bush, who attends the University of Texas at Austin, and her twin sister, Barbara, who attends Yale University, were cited after their visit to a Mexican restaurant in Austin in May.

Jenna Bush was charged with misrepresentation of age by a minor. Her sister was charged with underage drinking and her case was dismissed in September after she completed eight hours of community service, attended an alcohol awareness class and paid $100 in fines.

A separate underage drinking charge in April against Jenna Bush has gone on her record as a conviction because of the restaurant violation. A judge fined her $500 and suspended her license.
