Cases We Handle:
Juvenile Crime
There is a great deal of difference between juvenile
and adult court in the Texas court system. The
main reason for juvenile court in Dallas is to
try to intervene and rehabilitate a minor opposed
to pursuing punishment. Minors, children
ages 10-18 have the juvenile system available
to them. The purpose of the juvenile court
is to deter delinquency in the future.
The court system prefers to be lenient on first-time
minor offenders and many times the court will
order community service or a fine instead of
more serious consequences. In the case of a
violent behavior, at the discretion of the judge and prosecutor,
a minor may be tried in adult court.
There are several options for punishment available in juvenile
court, dependant upon the seriousness of the crime and the minor’s
previous record. Punishment can include house arrest, graffiti
cleanup, detention, community service and imprisonment.
If charged with a crime a juvenile has the right
to a Dallas criminal
attorney at any time during
the proceedings. However,
if the juvenile has only committed a minor crime, criminal
attorney representation may not be necessary. But in the event of
a more serious charge, it is imperative to hire an experienced
Dallas criminal attorney.
