Current law authorizes a sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable, or police officer to arrest without a warrant a child committed to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department who has escaped from a secure juvenile facility or who has violated the conditions of release under supervision. House Bill 3688 amends the Human Resources Code to extend such authority to all other peace officers and to special investigators.
