You should again read your Sentence and Probation papers. You probably will be discharged then. You also should talk to your probation officer to discuss this. Good luck to you. Stay out of trouble.

Correct action. Theft is theft. What if it was at walmart? You would have been arrested.

For all she knows, the note could have been written by you under duress. It would be best for you to call the authorities and straighten this out before someone gets in deeper trouble.

i doubt if they would look back now that you are 18 and if married to him with a baby

Son can establish paternity and then file for parental rights/shared custody in court, and be required to pay child support. But the landlord shouldn't need that, if all that is needed is daughter and child listed on lease.

A juvenile case COULD be filed against your daughter, but whether it will or not is uncertain. It is concerning that the DA is calling. Don't provide any statement until you meet with an attorney.

She can move at age 18 because she is an adult.

It would also terminate the obligation of child support. Even though she is still in high school, she would not be residing with the parent who would be receiving child support.

Consider consulting with an attorney familiar with dependency actions and some sort of public interest experience (such as Assistant Public Defender in a Unified Court and Legal Aid). Placement can be changed or modified.

If the court has given residential custody to your mother, then you must abide by the parenting plan should she decide to enforce it. Talk to your dad and an attorney local to you about your dad seeking a Motion to Modify to have residential custody switched to your father.

Talk to an attorney about representation in this matter.

They can hold them in juvenile detention, but not jail. They can hold them until the charges are resolved, but most likely will return them to DCS prior to that happening.

Yes. But certain statements might not be admissible in court if charges are filed.

It isn't really up to your parents whether or not this guy gets charged. 17 is the age of consent in Texas, and you two are too far apart in ages for any reliance on Texas' version of "Romeo and Juliet." Your baby's father could be facing statutory rape and other criminal charges.

Consult with a local defense attorney. 17 year olds are adults in the eyes of the Texas criminal justice system and he could easily be facing jail time for yanking a girl's hair if the county/district attorney decides to pick up the case.

I recommend that you attempt to have this question removed from this public website because it is potentially incriminating and has enough details to uniquely identify your son. Law Enforcement investigators have access to these pages just like everyone else.

He may be expelled or suspended from school, and could face a criminal complaint for assault. Try to deal with this reasonably with the school. If anyone starts talking about involving the police, end the conversation and get an attorney.
