Fort Bend County Juvenile Crime Lawyer

Was Your Child Arrested? Get Legal Help Now!

A conviction for a crime can follow your child around for the rest of their life, making it difficult to obtain a career, housing, school loans and education. After an arrest, it is important that you work to protect your child's name and future by retaining the legal counsel of a trusted criminal defense attorney in Fort Bend County.

Texas law recognizes children 17 years and younger as juveniles, which means that if they are arrested, they will not be charged in an adult court, but rather in a juvenile justice system. At Rosen & Kovach, I fully understand Texas law as it pertains to juvenile defense and I will work hard to assist your child in obtaining a favorable outcome for their criminal case.

Penalties for Juvenile Crimes

One of the most common juvenile criminal charges in Texas is an alcohol-related crime. If a minor is found in possession of alcohol, they could face the following penalties, driver’s license suspension, fines up to $500, community service hours and mandatory alcohol awareness program attendance.

The Texas juvenile court system operates on a basis of not incarcerating every individual, but rather evaluating them, getting them the help that they need, and releasing them under supervised care into the community with the tools that they need to become productive members of society.

Even with the care that is taken to assess juvenile offenders, parents and children alike know that an arrest can be frightening. In some unfortunate circumstances, state prosecutors will try to get a juvenile offense elevated to be tried in an adult court to "make an example" out of the child.
