SPECIALTY COURTS WE SERVE

Houston

A Specialty Court is a problem-solving court designed to address the root causes of criminal activity and child neglect by providing a judicially supervised, individually crafted probation with mandated treatment. Specialty Courts bridge the gap between the justice system and therapeutic approaches for participants with drug dependencies, mental illness, and/or other societal challenges. Offenders receive innovative and intensive individualized supervision by the court team and treatment providers. These courts employ a graduated system of incentives and sanctions to reward and re-direct behavior and encourage participants to attain education and employment goals. Each client’s goals are discussed and monitored to ensure success in both completing the program and conquering underlying issues.
