 Texas Sunset Advisory Commission Staff Report About the Texas Youth Commission,
Texas Juvenile Probation Commission, & Office of Independent Ombudsman
The Commission reviewed the three agencies to identify and eliminate
waste, duplication, and inefficiency.
The Commission seeks public input through hearings on every agency under
Sunset review and recommends actions on each agency to the full
Legislature. In most cases, agencies under Sunset review are
automatically abolished unless legislation is enacted to continue them.
The three agencies under review provide services to individuals involved
in the juvenile justice system. The Texas Youth Commission facilities supervise five percent
of youth in the system. The Texas Juvenile Probation Commission oversees probation services for 95% of
youth in the juvenile justice system. The Office of Independent Ombudsman
provides oversight of juvenile justice services.
