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.
Houston Juvenile Law Attorney Attorney Andy Nolen has over 22 years  experience representing persons accused of committing criminal violations of State and Federal law.

Houston Juvenile Law Attorney Andy Nolen treats  every person they represent as if they were a friend and neighbor.   When you call, likely Andy Nolen will answer your call himself.  You will be dealing with Attorneys, not secretaries, assistants, or answering machines.

Houston Juvenile Lawyer Andy Nolen, Tips For Your Child's Court Appearance

English: Ezekiel W. Cullen Building on the cam...
Houston Juvenile Lawyer

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.

Children will be children, and in these present times, children reach puberty at a younger and younger age and become naturally curious about their own sexuality.

  Unfortunately, their natural inclination to experiment often breaks Texas state laws, and these children as young as ten can get arrested for serious felony offenses. 

 These children need good representation to save them from possible lifetime repercussions.

  Children can be ordered to register as sex offenders until the age of 28.  Older children can be certified as adults and have their cases transferred to adult court where they could face many years in prison. 

 I will work hard to represent your child so that he will not have to register as a Texas sex offender and possibly not be found delinquent at all.
  
Your child should not be marked for life for something he or she did as a young teenager.  I will work hard to make sure your child is not sent to TYC (Texas Youth Commission).
What many times is a horrible misunderstanding regarding your child's sexual behavior I will work hard to minimize or eliminate the effects of.  Sex offenses are always a deeply personal and serious issue, and I will work with the utmost respect, compassion and professionalism. 

 If you child has been accused of a sex offense, call Houston Juvenile Defense Attorney Andy Nolen at 832-480-8951.  I will help your child and your family get through it.

What Is Going to Happen to my Child? Houston Juvenile Defense Attorney Andy Nolen Explains


 What is Going to Happen to my Child? A Police Officer says my child is being charged with a crime.

When juveniles are charged with a crime, they are often taken into custody by the police.  Some times, the child is released to a parent or guardian by the police.  The parents are informed that their child is being charged but they can take their child home when this happens.  The police will then send their information regarding the case to the District Attorney over the next few days or weeks.  Upon receiving the information, if the District Attorney decides to accept charges on the juvenile, a petition is filed with the juvenile courts.  After it is filed, a Deputy Constable will come to your home and personally "serve" the child and his parents with documents instructing them to appear in court on a particulate date.

At the same time, the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department begins their process of gathering information about your child and your family.  The probation department is responsible for preparing a probation report for the court, the prosecutor and the defense attorney.  A probation office usually will call you or your child to discuss his situation.  The probation officer may call you early on in the case even before the petition is filed with the court.

Before you speak with the probation officer, it is critical that you and your child consult with his or her juvenile defense attorney because you must be careful to safeguard your child's rights.  It is good to be cooperative with the probation department but it is better to talk to a juvenile defense lawyer first.  Understand that the contents of the probation report that is given to the court and the prosecutor to consider is mostly based on the information which you have provided.

To discuss your child's case before your talk to the probation officer, you can call Houston Juvenile Defense Attorney Andy Nolen at 832-480-8951
