Municipal courts have jurisdiction over Public intoxication and speeding offenses for minors age 10 and older.

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Maybe
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (A)

Municipal courts handle city ordinance violations and many misdemeanors and traffic offenses that occur within the municipality. Public intoxication by a minor and speeding are the kinds of offenses that typically fall into this category when they happen inside the city limits. The key point is the age of the offender: once a minor is old enough—often around 10 years or older—cases can be processed in municipal court rather than requiring juvenile court or a higher court, depending on the jurisdiction. So, for minors aged 10 and up, municipal court jurisdiction over these offenses is the usual arrangement, which is why this statement is correct.
