When your child is charged with a crime in Temple or anywhere in Bell County, knowing your rights as a parent is critical. At Barina Law Group, we help families understand what they can—and can't—do during a juvenile case.

As a parent, you have the right to:

• Attend all court hearings
• Hire legal counsel for your child
• Review evidence and reports with your attorney
• Be involved in probation meetings, counseling sessions, and case planning

However, your child is the one being charged, and they are the “respondent” under Texas juvenile law. While you can be present, you cannot speak for them in court unless you're the attorney of record.

We help you navigate your role, advocate for your child's needs, and prepare for interactions with judges, probation officers, and school administrators. We also explain your responsibilities—like ensuring your child complies with court orders and probation terms.
