Comprehensive Report Summary: The Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) was created as a new state agency on December 1, 2011 pursuant to Senate Bill 653 passed by the 82nd Texas Legislature. Simultaneous to the creation of TJJD, the legislation abolished the two previous juvenile justice agencies in Texas, the Texas Juvenile Probation Commission (TJPC) and the Texas Youth Commission (TYC) and transferred all functions, duties and responsibilities of these former agencies to TJJD. In 2009, the 81st Texas Legislature required TYC to develop a comprehensive reentry and reintegration plan (Texas Human Resource Code, Section 245.0535) to reduce recidivism and ensure the successful reentry and reintegration of children into the community following a child’s release under supervision or final discharge, as applicable, from the commission. TYC's comprehensive plan known as "Cultivating Success: The Reentry & Reintegration of TYC Youth" was finalized in June 2010. As a result, a comprehensive community reentry plan is developed for each youth during their time in TJJD. TJJD’s research department has conducted an evaluation to determine whether the comprehensive reentry and reintegration plan reduces recidivism. Subsequently, a report is required no later than December 1 during even-numbered years to determine if recidivism has been reduced. This report focuses on the implementation of Texas Human Resource Code, Section 245.0535 and the results of the current outcome measures. The youth population trend, noted in Cultivating Success: The Reentry & Reintegration of TYC Youth, continues with an increase in commitment of youth with higher risk assessment scores, specialized treatment needs, violent behaviors and below grade level achievement. To address the on-going changes in population, TJJD continues to evaluate and update its reentry and rehabilitation practices and procedures. This report highlights the requirements of Texas Human Resource Code, Section 245.0535 and describes TJJDs compliance with each section.
