Common Juvenile Offenses

The following are some of the most common issues faced by juveniles in Texas. Click on each topic to learn more:

Vape and THC Product Offenses

The rise in popularity of vape products among minors has led to an increase in arrests and disciplinary actions. Many of these cases involve confusion over whether the vape contains nicotine, legal Delta-8 or CBD, or illegal THC.

Threats, Social Media, and False Alarms

Social media has become a central part of teens’ lives, but impulsive posts can lead to severe consequences. Threats, hoaxes, or false alarms—whether intended as a joke or not—can result in criminal charges and school disciplinary action.

Underage DUI

Driving under the influence is taken very seriously in Texas, especially for minors. Even small amounts of alcohol can result in license suspension, hefty fines, and a criminal record.

School Discipline Cases

Being disciplined at school for actions such as fighting, vaping, or other violations can have long-term consequences. Disciplinary hearings and tribunals often proceed quickly, leaving little time for parents to prepare.
