my 17 year old son was majestrated for Burglary of habitation because he attempted to take a bike from the yard. Now they say he is 17 and put him in with adults. is there any way they can transfer this back to Juvenile court? They have since tranfered him to another detention center far away and he has not even been sentenced yet. As parents we are concern. What can we do?
Answer
He is considered an adult at 17 in Texas for criminal law purposes. Burglary of a habitation is a second degree felony with a punishment range of 2-20 years in prison. You should consider trying to hire a lawyer for your son if you can. If the facts are as you suggest, there may be some legal issues that an attorney may be able to clear up.
