37 TAC §85.41
The Texas Youth Commission (the commission) adopts new §85.41,
concerning Maximum Length of Stay, without changes to the proposed text as
published in the December 2, 2005, issue of the
Texas Register
(30 TexReg 8001).
The justification for the new rule is the efficient use of agency resources.
The new section allows only general offenders to be released under this rule.
Additionally, the length of time such youth must serve in high restriction
to be eligible for release is now calculated based on a certain number of
months in addition to (as opposed to elapsed since completion of) the minimum
length of stay plus any disciplinary extensions. Furthermore, the timeframe
during which a youth must be free of Category 1 rule violations in order to
be eligible for release under this rule is lowered from 90 days to 30 days
prior to the exit review. The deadline by which an eligible youth must be
released to parole is reduced from 45 days after the exit review to 30 days.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the new rule.
The new rule is adopted under the Human Resources Code, §61.034,
which provides the commission with the authority to make rules appropriate
to the proper accomplishment of its functions.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.

Subchapter D. HEALTH CARE SERVICES
37 TAC §91.99
The Texas Youth Commission (the commission) adopts the repeal
of §91.99, concerning Medical Admissions for Al Price State Juvenile
Correctional Facility, without changes to the proposed text as published in
the December 2, 2005, issue of the
Texas Register
(30 TexReg 8002).
The justification for the repeal is the efficient use of agency resources.
The repeal reflects the agency's determination that due to the small number
of youth with chronic illnesses requiring frequent care in TYC custody, the
operation of a specialized dorm to house such youth is no longer necessary.
Such youth continue to receive necessary medical care in accordance with rules
established by the agency which govern the provision of medical care.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the repeal.
The repeal is adopted under the Human Resources Code, §61.034,
which provides the commission with the authority to make rules appropriate
to the proper accomplishment of its functions.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
