      Community Service in Dallas

      Where Can I Do Community Service in Dallas County? | Court-Approved List

      People who have been charged with a criminal offense in Dallas County often ask where they can perform community service. Some are completing hours at the request of their attorney while their case is pending. Others have been ordered by a judge to complete community service in Dallas as part of a pre-trial diversion program or as a condition of probation.

      Regardless of the reason, it’s important to make sure that you are volunteering at a reputable location that will be accepted by Dallas County courts. Most Dallas courts will accept community service from any organization that is non-profit and non-religious.
