Texas House backs tougher juvenile crime bill in push to lower transfer age
The Texas House approved a measure to raise penalties for juvenile offenders, expand detention capacity, and lower the transfer age to adult court from 18 to 16. The bill envisions fingerprinting and a statewide juvenile justice database, with $14.8 million in bond funding to add 1,448 beds in 1996-97. Senate consideration and related casino, polygraph, and university system issues also loom.
