Relating to the criminal procedures related to children who commit certain Class C misdemeanors.

HB 4846 changes Texas law to provide more flexible payment options for fines in criminal cases involving children who commit certain Class C misdemeanors. It allows courts to set payment plans for children, including installments or delayed payments, rather than requiring immediate full payment. The bill also explicitly adds children to the group eligible for fine waivers if they are poor or lack resources, and if paying the fine would cause undue hardship. These provisions apply specifically when the defendant was a child at the time of the offense.
