Houston Juvenile Law Attorney Andy Nolen, Sealing Texas Juvenile Records

Sealing Texas Juvenile Criminal Records 

The State of Texas allows the sealing of most juvenile criminal records.  Hire a Houston Juvenile Law Attorney to file a motion to seal your juvenile records.  Having these records sealed by an attorney ensures your or your child's juvenile record doesn't show up on criminal background checks.

  Colleges, prospective employers and the military all do criminal background checks on applicants.  Unlike adult non-disclosure (record sealing) cases, a juvenile is not required to be sentenced to adjudication probation.

  Even if a juvenile is convicted of a crime, a juvenile's delinquent record can be sealed as long as he or she:
  1. Did not receive a determinate sentence (which may have been determinate probation or a determinate sentence to TYC).
  2. Is not currently registered as a sex offender.
  3. Was not certified to be tried as an adult.
Juveniles have their entire lives ahead of them, so do not let one mistake as a teenager ruin your or your child's entire future.  Contact Houston Juvenile Law Attorney Andy Nolen at 832-480-8951 to have him file a petition today to seal your juvenile's records.

Your Child Should Listen To His Houston Juvenile Lawyer

If your child cooperates with their Houston Juvenile Lawyer, his or her chances of being released from detention and returning to your home increases.  Furthermore, if they are ultimately found true to have engaged in delinquent conduct in court, he or she is more likely to receive a lenient sentence.  Following your lawyer's advice can only help your case no matter what.

Your Child Should Behave

If your child is charged with a Texas juvenile offense, he or she should not get into any more trouble.  You have enough problems already.  Your child should be on their best behavior.  If you have to supervise your child at all times and keep him or her in the house, do it because that may be the only way to get past this accusation.

If Your Child Needs It, Get Him or Her Help

You child may need additional assistance.  Some children have mental problems.  If your child does, we at the Law Office of Andy Nolen & Associates have experience working with psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists on Texas juvenile cases.  We can also work with you to get your child drug therapy if he or she needs it.  We can advise you on what to do before your child first comes to court.

Your child may need extra support. If your child has any psychological problems, we have experience working with psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists on juvenile cases. If your child has a drug problem we can also work with you to get you the help you need.  The proper representation of a juvenile requires a complex multidisciplinary approach that only a trained expert knows how to properly handle.

Does your child deserve the proper representation of a Houston Juvenile Lawyer?  If he or she does, call Andy Nolen at 7832-480-8951.  He will fight to keep your child's record clean.

Houston Juvenile Attorney Andy Nolen, Will My Child Be Released by the Juvenile Court Judge?

Will My Child Be Released by the Juvenile Court Judge?
Houston Juvenile Attorney

I have heard so many stories about kids just being locked up and spending months in jail waiting for trial and not ever being released to their parents.  Is that true?  When the Juvenile Court Judge is trying to determine whether to release a juvenile or keep him detained, what does the judge consider?

The Juvenile Court Judge considers 5 factors when making the determination as to releasing the child to a parent or guarding or to hold the child in the detention center awaiting court--(1) whether the child is likely to run away or be taken outside the jurisdiction of the court, (2) whether a parent or guardian can provide suitable care, supervision and protection for the child, (3) whether the  child has a parent or guardian who will return him to court at all of his court settings, (4) whether the child may be a danger to himself or others if released from juvenile detention and (5) whether the child has a history of having been found to have engaged in delinquent conduct and is likely to commit a new offense if released.

If parents (or guardians) are seeking their child's release from detention, it is very important that they be present at the detention hearing with a good juvenile defense lawyer to ask the judge to released their child.
