In Texas, if you are younger than seventeen years of age and you are charged with a crime, then, generally, the case is handled in juvenile court. Juvenile law is different from adult criminal law in that it is a civil proceeding yet the criminal offenses are the same as those found in the Texas Penal Code. There are many aspects of juvenile law that differ from adult criminal proceedings. Dallas criminal attorney Tom D'Amore can help you navigate those proceedings.
