Juveniles

Juveniles (ages 10-16) MUST APPEAR IN PERSON WITH A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN for a court hearing.  A hearing date will be scheduled and a notice will be mailed to the address on the front of your citation.  A court hearing is also required to request Driver Safety Course or Deferred Disposition. 

A child and parent required to appear before the court have an obligation to provide the court in writing with the current address and residence of the child.  This obligation does not end when the child reaches age 17.  On or before the seventh day after the date that the child or parent changes residence, the child or parent shall notify the court of the current address in the manner directed by the court.  Failure to report a change of address timely may result in arrest and is a Class C misdemeanor.  The obligation to provide notice terminates on discharge and satisfaction of the judgment or final disposition not requiring a finding of guilt.
