Mitchell Nolte is experienced with working in the area of law that deals with criminal law involving children - persons not old enough to be held responsible for criminal acts. Examples include Detention Hearings and Adjudication hearings for determination of Delinquent Conduct. In Texas, like most states, the age for criminal culpability is set at 18 years.

Juvenile law is mainly governed by state law and a juvenile code. The main goal of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitation rather than punishment. However, juveniles can be transferred into adult court if the juvenile court waives or relinquishes its jurisdiction. In order to make sure your juvenile case is defended properly, please contact Mr. Nolte.
