SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 236
WHEREAS, Juvenile justice professionals are gathering in
Austin on February 28, 2023, for Texas Juvenile Justice
Professional Day at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, One of the most advanced juvenile justice systems
in the nation, the Texas network is composed of 165
community-based probation departments, which serve youth and
families in all 254 counties of the Lone Star State in
partnership with the Texas Juvenile Justice Department; and
WHEREAS, The juvenile probation departments handle 100
percent of the referrals of young people to the juvenile justice
system each year through the efforts of more than 8,200 certified
juvenile probation and supervision officers, and departments
continue to provide services at the local level to 98 percent of
those referrals; and
WHEREAS, Every day, the dedicated men and women of the
juvenile justice system make a positive difference in the lives
of young Texans, helping them to embark on a better path, and in
so doing, they contribute to both the strength of their families
and the safety of our communities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby recognize February 28, 2023, as Texas
