Former Justice of the Peace Steve Walker in Truancy Court in 2012

Caption reads: Before the Texas Legislature decriminalized truancy in the last session, truants were taken before Justices of the Peace and potentially placed in the Juvenile Justice System. In 2012 Justice of the Peace Steve Walker speaks to a student and his mother during a  truancy hearing @ the Bexar County Precinct 2 Court. Such cases are handled in the schools and going to Municipal Court as a last resort.
