Current law authorizes the Texas Juvenile Probation Commission to partner with local counties to participate and assist in the creation and maintenance of a statewide juvenile information and case management system. Senate Bill 58 amends the Family Code to specify that the commission enter into such a partnership through the adoption of an interlocal contract with one or more counties as provided under the Interlocal Cooperation Act. The bill authorizes the commission to use funds appropriated for the implementation of the system to pay costs incurred under such an interlocal contract and authorizes the commission to provide training services to counties on the use and operation of a system created, operated, or maintained by the counties.
