Is Alternative Sentencing An Option?

In some criminal cases, the state of Texas seeks harsh punishment for offenders. In other cases, however, it may be possible to obtain various outcomes that stress rehabilitation rather than punishment, and which minimize the penalties the offender suffers. It may even be possible to obtain an outcome that avoids a conviction altogether.

In North Texas and statewide, many such alternative sentencing options are available, though not everyone is eligible for them. As an experienced criminal defense firm, Carl Henry Judin III, Attorney and Counselor, can help you understand the rules of these programs and the criteria that prosecutors and courts use in determining who is allowed into them.
