Reforms Strengthen Texas Juvenile Justice System
Attorney General praises Texas Legislature for passing tough reforms in juvenile justice. The law allows transfer of offenders 16 and older to state prison after time in TYC facilities, tightens penalties for serious juvenile crimes, and limits adult parole reporting for worst offenders. It also expands juvenile corrections capacity to keep violent youths off the streets.
