The Texas court system is not easy on juvenile offenders. “Determinate sentencing”, first approved by Texas legislature in 1987, allows a juvenile offender to be tried as an adult if charged with certain violent crimes which qualify as capital or first degree felony offenses, including:
- Murder
- Attempted murder
- Manslaughter
- Intoxication manslaughter
- Sexual assault
- Aggravated robbery
- Aggravated assault
Texas courts treat juvenile cases very seriously at all levels. In other cases—including misdemeanor level offenses—the court has the power to take your child out of your home if it deems that that is in the child’s best interests. This means that even if your child has received probation, he or she could face time in an institution far from home.

It is extremely important that you hire a lawyer immediately with the necessary experience within the juvenile court system to protect your child’s rights.
