The Municipal Court has jurisdiction over juveniles (10-16 years of age) charged with all Class C misdemeanor offenses, except public intoxication. Juveniles are required to appear in open court for all proceedings in their cases. 

A parent of any juvenile charged in Municipal Court is required to be present in court. All juvenile cases are scheduled for a 3:30 pm appearance.

Juveniles who fail to appear or pay their fines will be reported to the Department of Public Safety, who will suspend their driver's license. If they do not have a driver's license, they will not be able to obtain one until they appear in court.

The Municipal Court also has jurisdiction over minors (anyone under the age of 21) charged with alcohol or tobacco offenses.

All minors under the age of 18 charged with such an offense must appear in open court with a parent or legal guardian. Minors ages 18-21 charged with alcohol offenses must appear in open court but are not required to have a parent or legal guardian in attendance.

Minors who fail to appear in court may have a warrant issued for their arrest.

All above cases will be set to appear before the judge. The court is required to notify juveniles, minors, and parents (if the offender is under the age of 18) by mail with the date and time of the court appearance.
