If you are not a Teen Court Defendant, but are interested in any of the above programs please contact the Teen Court offices
Not sure if you are in the right place, no problem. Here are a few questions to help you determine if this is the page that will best answer your questions
- Have you pled guilty to a misdemeanor in Colorado Springs
- Was this your first offense
- Was the sentencing in that case deferred
- Do you have two case numbers, one starting with "JC" and another starting with "TC"
If you answered yes to all these questions then yes, your are a Teen Court Defendant then this is the right page to answer many of your questions.
All Teen Court defendants have three months to finish their sentences. This time begins on the day of the Teen Court hearing. In addition to the three months for the sentence, the Municipal Court will monitor all deferred sentences for three additional months, bringing the total time for deferred sentence to six months.
If you are having trouble completing your sentence for whatever reason, please review the information available to you in this site. If you still have problems or questions, feel free to contact the Teen Court offices. Remember the Teen Court staff will make sure you have the opportunity to complete your sentence, but you must let them know of any potential problems before your Teen Court due date. After that date any incomplete sentences will be returned to Municipal Court for review.
If your offense is covered by the program, it is your first offense, you are 18 years of age or younger, and your case number begins with the prefix "JC" you are eligible for Teen Court, but the final decision is made through the City Attorney's Office. Oftentimes Teen Court is recommended by a school administrator or the arresting officer. All Teen Court defendants must plead guilty to their offense in order to be eligible for the program. You can ask the court about the program during your court date. If the judge decides that it would be an appropriate option for your specific case, then the case will be transferred to us.
