Defendants who meet the Teen Court guidelines may be referred by Municipal Court. Most Teen Court defendants must plead guilty to their charge and will receive a deferred sentence. The parent or guardian must agree to attend the Teen Court sentencing hearing, which may be in the form of a mediation, a peer panel of student volunteers, or a Teen Court trial in a courtroom with student attorneys. Teen Court charges a fee for participation in the program. Juvenile defendants are judged by a jury of their peers, and through sentences that promote self-esteem and encourage positive life choices, former defendants are more likely to resist opportunities to re-offend in favor of building a more productive life for themselves.
Sentences typically include community service hours and participation in a future Teen Court trial as a juror. Sentences may also include restorative justice classes for specific offenses, a life skills class, letters of apology, or restitution to the victim. Parents or guardians are responsible for any fees incurred by the sentencing requirements.
Teen Court follows restorative justice principles. The defendant must recognize and accept responsibility for the harm caused by his or her choices and take action to repair the harm. The teen-led sentencing process, together with office staff follow-up, allows for more individual attention for each Teen Court defendant. Because of this, the re-offense rate for juveniles who complete the Teen Court program is 7%, as opposed to 40-50% for similar cases in the regular court system. The traditional justice system creates a pass through mentality, where teens are not given the opportunity to understand the reconcile their behavior. This pass through mentality creates a higher likelihood that they will return to the justice system. Teen Court creates a whole youth approach to help the young person receive services to support them in making better choices and looking to the future instead of their past.
Hennepin County Library hires teens ages 16-18 and equips them with tools to research, design and implement STEAM-based activities for youth in a fun and supportive environment. Teen Tech Squad employees develop communication, collaboration, project management and problem-solving skills as part of their employment experience.
The mission of the Teen Tech Squad is to cultivate 21st-century learning and innovation skills in youth through STEAM-based activities. When youth develop scientific, artistic and mathematical thinking skills, they also develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The Teen Tech Squad leads youth through activities that are designed to nurture curiosity, support creativity, and provide early exposure to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) concepts.
Get creative and make music, videos, animation and other projects using both high- and low-tech tools, everything from iPads and 3D printers to synthesizers and sewing machines. Led by the library's Teen Tech Squad.
Teens in certain settings are at higher risk of teen pregnancy and birth than other groups. For example, women ever in foster care were more likely to have a teen birth than women who had never been in foster care.5
Quality sexual and reproductive health services, such as birth control and sexually transmitted infection services, are important for supporting adolescent health. However, best practice recommendations for these services are not always followed.
CDC supports the Quality and Access for Reproductive Health Equity (QARE, pronounced 'care') for Teens project. This project is led by the National Association of Community Health Centers, along with Cicatelli Associates (CAI). It aims to improve best practices in health center services and increase access to those services.
You may use our interactive REAL ID Document Check Application to assist in preparing you for your Driver License Office Visit. Just follow the steps, and at the end, you will have a customized checklist of the documents to bring for your visit.
One of the more important decisions you and your parents or legal guardian can make is deciding when you should apply for your first driver license. There are many laws specific to teen drivers that you are required to follow when applying for and holding a driver license. These laws are designed to educate you about the rules of the road and ensure you practice safe driving habits before being allowed to graduate to the next step. These graduated steps provide you the chance to improve your driving skills over time in lower-risk environments.
If you are under 18 years of age, one of the first requirements is completion of a driver education course. You can begin the classroom phase of a driver education course at 14 years of age, but you cannot apply for a learner license until you are at least 15 years of age. There are four types of driver education to select from when taking this course:
*You will need to provide your Social Security Number (SSN). It will be verified electronically with the U.S. government. If it cannot be verified, your driver license cannot be issued or renewed. Learn more about this process at our Social Security Number website.
Applying for your Provisional Driver License
When you are ready to apply for a provisional driver license and have completed all the learner license requirements, you will need to visit a driver license office and provide additional documentation.
You may complete the driving test requirements at the DL office or through a Third Party provider. Read about testing in other languages and driving test requirements. If you will be taking your driving test at a local driver license office, you will be required to:
You are eligible to renew your driver license up to 30 days prior to the expiration date, which will occur on your 18th birthday. You are eligible to renew online by using our online renewal process. The cost is the same as renewing at a driver license office. If you choose to renew in person before you turn 18, you will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If you renew in person after your 18th birthday, you will no longer need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian; however, you must make alternate transportation arrangements to visit your local driver license office, as it is a violation of state law to operate a motor vehicle with an expired driver license.
Learner license without proof of driver education
If you are transferring/presenting a valid out-of-state learner license and are not able to provide proof of successfully completing a teen driver education course, you will be issued a Texas learner license. The Texas learner license must be held for 6 months or until the age of 18, whichever comes first, regardless of how long you held a learner license in another state. You will be required to complete a Texas driver education course, the Impact Texas Drivers (ITD) program, and the driving test before being issued a provisional driver license.
Learner license with proof of driver education
If you are between 16 - 17 years of age and are transferring/presenting a valid out-of-state learner license that you have held for at least six months, and present proof of successful completion of a teen driver education course, you will be required to complete the Impact Texas Drivers (ITD) program, provide verification of school enrollment and attendance, and successfully pass the driving test before being issued a provisional driver license.
A minor's restricted driver license (MRDL), also known as a hardship license, may be issued under certain instances where it has been established that there is a necessity to drive and the applicant is under 16 years of age. A hardship license applicant must complete all of the regular licensing requirements listed above, with the exception of holding a learner license for a minimum of six months, and must be at least 15 years of age. A hardship license expires on the applicant's next birthday.
Individuals under 18 years of age who are convicted of possession, purchase, consumption or receipt of cigarettes or tobacco products must attend a tobacco awareness program approved by the Texas Department of State Health Services. Failure to complete the program within 90 days could result in the suspension of the individual's driver license (or driving privilege if not licensed).
Texas enacted laws to discourage drivers from drinking and driving to make Texas roads safer. These laws include a Zero Tolerance for minors (under 21 years of age) who commit any alcohol related offenses. Zero tolerance means that a minor may not purchase, attempt to purchase, consume, or possess an alcoholic beverage. If any detectable amount of alcohol is in their system while operating a motor vehicle, including a watercraft, in a public place, it is a criminal offense of Driving under the Influence of Alcohol by a Minor (DUIA by a Minor). For more detailed information, download and review our Alcohol Related Laws for Minors brochure.
