What is a Pretrial Diversion in Texas?

by Ricardo A. Barrera

Gavel with sound block and scales of justiceA Pretrial Diversion in Texas is an opportunity, available in some counties, to get educated and monitored for a period of time, and if all conditions of this contract are satisfied, one’s case is then dismissed.

This contract is dependent on the policies, procedures, and a case-by-case review.

A competent lawyer must review the evidence in advance to make sure the Pretrial Diversion is an appropriate alternative. If one fails a Pretrial Diversion, they are waiving a jury trial, which is a very valuable right.
