Criminal defense for Euless cases
In short: Class C tickets from Euless go to the Euless Municipal Court at 825 Thousand Oaks Dr., Suite B, Hurst 76054. DWI, family violence, drug and felony cases go to the Tarrant County courts. Protective orders can be filed where either person lives or where the violence allegedly happened, and the hearing is generally within 14 days.
Our office is in downtown Dallas. We do not have an office in Euless, but we defend people charged in Euless and across Tarrant County.
Which court will hear my Euless case?
| Type of case | Where it is heard | Who prosecutes |
|---|---|---|
| Class C (fine-only) tickets and city ordinance cases | Euless Municipal Court (temporarily at the Hurst Municipal Court), 825 Thousand Oaks Dr., Suite B, Hurst 76054 | City prosecutor |
| Class A and B misdemeanors, including most DWIs and family violence assaults | the Tarrant County Criminal Courts | County prosecutor (see below) |
| Felonies | the Tarrant County Criminal District Courts | County or district prosecutor (see below) |
The municipal court only hears offenses punishable by fine only. A DWI, assault, drug possession or protective order violation from Euless is not a municipal court case. It goes to the Tarrant County courts at the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap St., Fort Worth. The Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office prosecutes both misdemeanors and felonies.
The Euless court has temporarily moved to the Hurst Municipal Court building while its own building is under construction, so check your notice for the current address.
What happens after an arrest in Euless?
After an arrest, a magistrate sets bond and conditions. Tarrant County operates a post-plea Misdemeanor DWI Court program through County Criminal Court No. 4. It is a treatment-focused program for eligible people after a plea, not a dismissal program.
For a DWI, the 15-day deadline to request an ALR hearing starts when you get the notice, no matter which city made the arrest. Read the Tarrant County DWI page for local DWI details.
