The Grimes County youth-diversion plan required by H.B. 3186 (Code of Criminal Procedure arts. 45.306, 45.309, 45.310), effective January 1, 2025, covering both municipal and justice courts. It establishes the intervention strategy that redirects children accused of certain "gateway" Class C misdemeanors (excluding traffic offenses) from formal prosecution — intermediate diversion before a charge is filed (art. 45.309) and diversion by the judge after a charge or a finding of guilt (art. 45.310).
Texas > Grimes County > justice and municipal courts — juvenile (Class C) diversion.
Each municipal and justice court must adopt and maintain a written youth-diversion plan (art. 45.306). "Diversion" redirects an eligible child from formal criminal prosecution while holding the child accountable; the plan covers intermediate diversion (art. 45.309) and diversion by judge (art. 45.310) for eligible Class C misdemeanor offenses other than traffic violations.
