A court may not issue arrest warrants for any Class C misdemeanor found in the Education Code committed by a person under the age of 17.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for felonies
• D. Only if the offense occurred at school

Answer: (A)

For juveniles under 17, arrest warrants are generally not issued for Class C Education Code misdemeanors. These offenses are minor and punishable by fines, so the usual approach is noncustodial enforcement—summonses, required appearances, or other juvenile-court processes—rather than arrest. The Education Code offenses within this category are handled through mechanisms that emphasize supervision and rehabilitation rather than detention. Arrest warrants would be reserved for more serious situations or when a noncompliance issue (like failing to appear after a summons) arises, but the standard practice for these offenses is to proceed without arrest warrants.
