The municipal has jurisdiction over juveniles (persons 16 years of age or younger) charged with Class C misdemeanor offenses except public intoxication.

All juveniles are required to appear in open court for all proceedings in their cases. The parent of any juvenile charged in municipal court is required to be present in court with his or her child.

Juveniles who fail to appear in court may have an additional charge of failure to appear filed against them. Juveniles who fail to appear or who fail to pay their fine will be reported to the Department of Public Safety which will suspend their driver's license. If they do not have a driver's license, they will not be able to obtain one until they appear in court.

Juveniles will be notified by mail of their court date and must appear in person with their parent or guardian.

Youth Diversion Program

Juveniles facing their first charge for a non-traffic offense may be eligible to participate in the youth diversion program. This initiative provides first-time offenders with the chance to address a citation without undergoing formal court charges.
