Failure to Attend School and Parent Contributing to Nonattendance
In the State of Texas, the law holds parents of children criminally responsible for the children's school attendance. ("Truancy" is being absent from school without a legally acceptable excuse.) As of September 1, 2015, students can also be sent to court for civil truancy charges. These cases cost your family thousands of dollars in fines, court costs, and court-ordered programs. Additionally, the judge in your truancy case could eventually order you and your child to participate in numerous classes and programs at your expense.
Without knowing your rights and how the laws work in your favor, you risk all of these consequences. You need an experienced, smart lawyer who will fight for you and your family. Don’t hire lawyers who don’t have extensive experience in truancy law!
