Texas Juvenile Probation Commission & Texas Youth Commission Coordinated Strategic Plan Fiscal Year 2010
The Texas Juvenile Probation Commission (TJPC) and Texas Youth Commission (TYC) released its coordinated strategic plan for fiscal year 2010. The plan, adopted
on November 20, 2009, by the Boards of the TJPC and TYC, represents the works of both organizations, and House Bill 3689. The House Bill deals with areas of
education, mental health, youth and family advocacy, local juvenile probation, and victims' services. The strategic plan has proposed,
among other elements, that an assessment of the support network will take place after a youth is found to have a mental health disorder that impairs cognition. This
policy is in addition to other initiatives. The strategic plan presents the two agencies' plans to address mental health treatment needs among adjudicated youth.
