​​​​​​​​​​​TEEN COURT

Maria Fernandez
Juvenile Case Manager

972-304-7084
mfernandez@coppelltx.gov

 

 

The Teen Court Program provides a voluntary alternative to the "sentencing arm," of Municipal Court. To be eligible, participants must: be between the ages of 14 and 18, currently enrolled in a middle or high school, have received a citation in the City of Coppell for a Class C misdemeanor offense (not related to Alcohol or Tobacco), enter a plea of guilty or nolo contendere and pay an administrative fee, to request permission of the court to go before a jury of their peers to receive their "sentence." The verdicts rendered in Teen Court include a specific number of community service hours and at least one jury term, in lieu of paying the fine and having the offense go on their record. If the requirements are completed within ninety days the case will be dismissed and no fine will be collected (although payment of administrative fees are required), and the offense does not become a part of the youth's record. This program provides an educational opportunity through which youths may take responsibility for their own actions while receiving a second chance.

The Coppell Teen Court program meets twice a month in the municipal courtroom, located at 130 Town Center Blvd., Coppell, Texas. Anyone interested in participating in the program as a defendant, teen volunteer, or adult volunteer, should contact Maria Fernandez, Juvenile Case Manager at 972-304-7084. Email address:mfernandez@coppelltx.gov.

MISSION​

To protect the health of the citizens of Coppell from foodborne illness, communicable disease and hazardous materials through routine inspection, education, monitoring, investigation and enforcement of food and environmental ordinances.​​ 

Environmental Health protects the public from foodborne, waterbor​ne and other communicable diseases through routine inspections and education.

Food Safety and Restaurant Scores

The City of Coppell Food Program is responsible for protecting the public health by inspecting for food safety in restaurants, grocery stores, schools, daycares and other retail food establishments. A food establishment health permit is required for all businesses or organizations that provide perishable foods, whether prepackaged or non-prepackaged, to the public. Permanent establishments as well as temporary events are required to apply for a food permit, regardless of whether there is a charge for the food.


​Texas Food Establishments Rules​

City of Coppell Food Ordinance amendments

Certified Food Service Manager:

The City of Coppell requires a Certified Food Protection Manager for all establishments that have employees whose work brings them in contact with the handling of food, utensils, or food service equipment. Click here for more information on Certified Food Protection Manager recognized exams and testing agencies. 

Food Inspection Results:

Food establishment inspections are the primary tool for detecting procedures and practices that may be hazardous.  The restaurant scores are used as a tool by the City to place a value on compliance to the regulations, educate the operators, and thereby encourage corrective action.  It should not be assumed that the inspection results reflect how an establishment always operates.

The City of Coppell uses a demerit-based scoring system.  A zero (0) on an inspection report indicated that there are no critical violations in the establishment.  The scoring system used in Coppell is based on the Texas Food Establishment Rules as follows:

0-3 demerits = Excellent (Generally superior in food handling practices).
4-10 demerits = Good (Generally good in food handling practices).
11-19 demerits = Acceptable (Generally acceptable in food handling practices).
20-30 demerits = Poor (Generally poor in food handling practices).
31 or more = Failing (The establishment shall immediately cease operation until corrective action on all identified critical violations is complete).​

If you have received a notice regarding jury duty from the Coppell Municipal Court, your presence is required at this time. Please report promptly at the time and place noted on your summons. The time and appearance date on which you are expected to appear are located in the body of the notice. Jury duty starts promptly at the time listed on the notice, and because caseloads vary, plan to stay the entire day.

Municipal Court Authority and Jurisdiction

The single most important source of municipal court authority and jurisdiction is the Texas Constitution which gives the state legislature the power to establish courts and their jurisdiction when it sees fit. The legislature exercised this power and first created municipal courts in the Corporation Court Law of 1899. This law has been codified in the Texas Government Code. Municipal courts also look to various other statutes and codes for authority and jurisdiction.
--Provided by the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center

The source of Court of Record Authority is the State of Texas Government Code, Chapter 30, Subchapter L.L.--Coppell. In addition, the following also authorize the Court: Coppell City Code, Chapter 5; 1996 Edition, and Art. 5 Sec. 31 Texas Constitution.

Frequently Asked Questions

​How large is Coppell? 

The city is 14.71 square miles.​

What is the city's current population? 

40,310 as of January 1, 2016.

What is the role of the Planning and Zoning Commission? 

The Planning and Zoning Commission is a recommending body to the City Council on all zoning, platting, and development matters. They are the Site Plan approval authority and have been granted the right to approve Final Plats in some instances​.​​​

How often does the Planning and Zoning Commission meet? 

The Planning and Zoning Commission meets every third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

How can I obtain specific information on upcoming zoning cases? 

​Call the Planning Department at (972) 304-3678 and ask to speak with a planner on staff. The zoning cases are listed on the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council agendas posted in City Hall at least 72 hours prior to the respective meetings, and are published in the Citizens' Advocate newspaper. Planning and Zoning Commission Agendas, Minutes and Packets are available in the Public Document Database. Access these via the City Secretary parent folder, 10-Boards & Commissions subfolder, and then the Planning and Zoning Commission subfolder.

Who is notified with regards to a zoning change request?

All property owners on the most recently approved tax roll located within 200 feet of the zoning change request are notified by mail at least 10 days prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. A zoning notification sign is also placed on the subject property 10 days prior to the hearing and remains on the property until the city takes action on the request.

What can be done if I oppose the rezoning of property within my neighborhood? 

Send in your written opposition to the Planning Department prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The planning staff may be contacted to obtain detailed information on the case. A staff report is available the Monday before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Encourage all surrounding property owners to attend the public hearing.

Can City Council overrule a zoning recommendation for denial forwarded by the Planning and Zoning Commission? 

Yes. It would take an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of all the members of City Council (6 out of 7) to overrule a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission that a proposed zoning change be denied.

How much opposition is necessary to require an affirmative vote of at least three- fourths of all members of the City Council? 

The protest must be written and signed by the property owners of at least 20% of either the area of lots or land covered by the proposed change or the areas of lots or land immediately adjoining the area covered by the proposed change, extending 200 feet from that area.

What is the difference between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance? 

The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range plan intended to direct growth and physical development of a community for decades. The plan includes policies relative to physical development, transportation, parks and open space and economic development. It provides for the distribution and relationship of various land uses. The plan also serves as a basis for future development recommendations. Whereas, the Zoning Ordinance regulates the use of land and site development. It controls size of land area, size of yards, building coverage, height of structures, amount of landscaping, among several other things. Any violation of the Zoning Ordinance carries a penalty of up to $2,000 dollars for each offense.​​​
