Deferred prosecution gives minors in Texas a second chance. If your child qualifies, they can avoid formal juvenile court and have their case dismissed upon successful completion of conditions.

At Barina Law Group, we work hard to secure deferred prosecution for first-time and low-level offenders in Temple and across Bell County.

To qualify, the juvenile must:

  • Be a first-time offender
  • Admit to the conduct (without formal adjudication)
  • Agree to terms like counseling, classes, or community service

If completed successfully, the case is closed and often eligible for record sealing.

We help parents negotiate the best possible terms and make sure the agreement is clear, realistic, and in your child’s best interest.
