How long would a minor go to jail for missing a court date in denton county?
Answer 1: Missing a court date is generally considered, by the Court, to be contempt of its orders. A court date is an order. Missing it is "contempt of court." There are no set lengths of time to which one may be sentenced for "contempt of court." It's entirely up to the judge. Well... let me refine that: There are at least some guidelines which the judge must follow; he can't just throw you in jail and leave you there. However, the judge's discretion is so broad that, trust me, being tossed in jail for contempt is NOT something that you ever want a judge to do.
