After a minor is arrested in Texas, a detention hearing must be held within two working days. At Barina Law Group, we help Temple families prepare for these critical early hearings to keep their children from being held unnecessarily.

The hearing determines whether the child can return home or must stay in detention. The judge considers:

  • The seriousness of the charge
  • Flight risk
  • Danger to self or others
  • Past juvenile history

We appear at the hearing to argue for release and present family support, school records, and alternative options. Judges in Bell County have discretion, and our goal is to secure release to the family or a supervised setting.

Don’t go into a detention hearing without preparation—your child’s freedom could depend on it.
