Pursuant to Senate Bill 653 passed by the 82nd Texas Legislature and signed by the Governor, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) was created on December 1, 2011 and the existing Texas Juvenile Probation Commission (TJPC) and Texas Youth Commission (TYC) were abolished.

The TYC website is no longer available, however, many of its functions are available on the new TJJD website.  Make sure you update your favorites or bookmarks.  If your browser doesn't automatically go there within a few seconds, you may want to go to TJJD Website manually.
