    Default Juvenile Shoplifter

    My son is 17. We live in San Antonio, TX. He was caught shoplifting for the first and last time, and given a misdimeanor Notice to appear for theft of an item under $50 (it was a $30 video game). It has an appearance date in the municipal court but also states "juveniles to be notified by municipal court". Does that mean I wait to hear from the court before taking my son downtown?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Police rarely take anybody down town over a class c misdemeanor. Most of the time they just issue a citation.

    What's the difference between a misdemeanor notice to appear and a citation?

    A citation is a notice to appear. If they didn't arrest him at the the store I doubt they will arrest him at all. Chances are he will have to pay a fine.

    So we do need to go to court on the date on the citation, even though he's a juvenile?
    By the way, thanks for the advise.
