How long can my child be held before seeing a judge?

Two working days at most. A Friday, Saturday or holiday detention moves it to the next working day.

Do I need to be at the detention hearing?

Please attend. When no parent or guardian shows up, the judge has to name an attorney or guardian ad litem right away.

Can we get a free lawyer?

Yes, if the family qualifies. Juvenile Probation helps parents complete the financial form; call 830-769-3222.

Is there bail for a juvenile?

Texas juvenile cases do not use bail bonds the way adult cases do. The judge decides at the detention hearing whether the child goes home or stays.
