Chapter 85. Admission and Placement
Subchapter A. Commitment and Reception
37 TAC 85.1, 85.3, 85.5
The Texas Youth Commission (TYC) proposes new 85.1,
85.3, and 85.5, concerning legal requirements for admission,
admission process, and assessment/evaluation. The new sec-
tions will establish TYC document requirements of the counties
delivering each committed youth to the TYC assessment unit.
Youth are accepted during regular working hours at the Marlin
Orientation and Assessment Unit at Marlin, Texas. Rules re-
garding possession of personal items and other rules of admis-
sion and intake procedures are established. Following intake
youth are assessed and evaluated prior to being initially placed
as appropriate for their classification.
John Franks, Director of Finance, has determined that for the
first five-year period the sections are in effect there will be no
fiscal implications for state or local government as a result of
enforcing or administering the sections.
Mr. Franks also has determined that for each year of the first
five years the sections are in effect the public benefit anticipated
as a result of enforcing the sections will be streamlining of the
general public interaction with the Texas Youth Commission
as a governmental entity as the agency engages in rectifying
rules. There will be no effect on small businesses. There is
no anticipated economic cost to persons who are required to
comply with the section as proposed. No private real property
rights are affected by adoption of these rules.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted to Gail Graham,
Policy and Manuals Coordinator, Texas Youth Commission,
4900 North Lamar, P.O. Box 4260, Austin, Texas 78765.
The new sections are proposed under the Human Resources
Code, 61.071, which provides the Texas Youth Commission
with the authority to examine and make a study of each child
committed to it as soon as possible after commitment.
The proposed rules implement the Human Resource Code,
61.034.
