When a juvenile is accused of a crime in Texas, the criminal process is very different than in adult court. The juvenile crime is called an act of delinquency and requires juvenile court intervention to deal with the delinquency. The following types of behavior often subject juveniles to juvenile court jurisdiction:
- Assault and battery
- Curfew violations
- Drug use
- Gang-related activities
- Running away from home
- Sexual misconduct
- Shoplifting
- Skipping school – truancy
- Theft
- Traffic violations - speeding and driving without a license
- Trespassing
- Underage alcohol consumption or possession
