Juvenile Defense in Texas
The juvenile justice system is designed differently than the adult system — it focuses on rehabilitation over punishment. But that doesn’t mean the consequences aren’t serious. A juvenile record can affect college admissions, military service, and future employment.

• Underage DWI (zero tolerance)
• Drug possession
• Assault and fighting

• Truancy and school-related offenses

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can a juvenile be charged in Texas?
Texas juvenile courts have jurisdiction over children ages 10-16. At 17, individuals are charged as adults in Texas.
Can my child be tried as an adult?
In serious cases, prosecutors can seek to certify a juvenile as an adult. This is called ‘determinate sentencing’ or ‘certification.’ We fight aggressively against these transfers.
Will a juvenile record follow my child?
Juvenile records can often be sealed, but the process isn’t automatic. We help families navigate sealing and expunction to protect their child’s future.
Should I hire an attorney for a minor juvenile charge?
Yes. Even ‘minor’ charges can have lasting consequences. Early intervention by an experienced attorney can often result in diversion or dismissal.
