The Hurst - Euless - Bedford (HEB) Teen room is a onrush system of rules which allows juveniles (Class C misdemeanor offenders) an alternative to the criminal justice system. Upon successful completion of the program, offenders' cases are dismissed and do not come along on their record. HEB Teen Court is provided by the cities of Hurst, Euless, and Bedford.

(by mountain peak Putman, human race Mag.com) – Sarah Mc Gowan watches the functionary on justice Judy and all month looks fore to having the authority of a official in her local young Court: “That’s my favorite part: call at people.” The not-so-favorite part: in flood heels. “My feet hurt,” she complained to her mom at the end of a case. Sarah participates in the Williamson County young Court in central Texas: It’s one of approximately 1,037 youth courts that operate in 48 states.

Teen Court is a community-based, soul intervention/prevention thought that offers an choice to the juvenile official system. This diversion-like program alone accepts individual offenders with first-time, nonviolent, misdemeanor charges. These offenders are seen by youth volunteers from the community who act as peer attorneys, bailiffs, judges and jurors.
