North Richland Hills Criminal Defense FAQs
Q: Is a Class C citation in NRH a criminal offense?
Yes. Citations for things like paraphernalia, public intoxication, and assault by contact are criminal charges—not just “tickets.” We fight to get them dismissed or sealed.
Q: What court will handle my NRH case?
Class C misdemeanors stay in NRH Municipal Court. Class A/B misdemeanors and felonies are transferred to Tarrant County courts in Fort Worth.
Q: Can a DWI or marijuana charge be dismissed?
Yes. We evaluate each case for illegal searches, faulty stops, and weak evidence to fight for dismissal, reduction, or a diversion program.
