Tex.
Fam. Code Section 51.073
Transfer of Probation Supervision Between Counties: Permanent Supervision
(a)
In this section:(1)
“Receiving county” means the county to which a child on probation has moved or intends to move.(2)
“Sending county” means the county that:(A)
originally placed the child on probation; or(B)
assumed permanent supervision of the child under an inter-county transfer of probation supervision.(b)
On transfer of permanent supervision of a child under Section 51.072 (Transfer of Probation Supervision Between Counties: Interim Supervision)(m) or (n), the juvenile court of the sending county shall order the juvenile probation department of the sending county to provide the juvenile probation department of the receiving county with the order of transfer. On receipt of the order of transfer, the juvenile probation department of the receiving county shall ensure that the order of transfer, the petition, the order of adjudication, the order of disposition, and the conditions of probation are filed with the clerk of the juvenile court of the receiving county.(c)
The juvenile court of the receiving county shall require that the child be brought before the court in order to impose new or different conditions of probation than those originally ordered by the sending county or ordered by the receiving county during the period of interim supervision. The child shall be represented by counsel as provided by Section 51.10 (Right to Assistance of Attorney; Compensation).(d)
Once permanent supervision is transferred to the juvenile probation department of the receiving county, the receiving county is fully responsible for selecting and imposing conditions of probation, providing supervision, modifying conditions of probation, and revoking probation. The sending county has no further jurisdiction over the child’s case.(d-1)
On the final transfer of a case involving a child who has been adjudicated as having committed an offense for which registration is required under Chapter 62 (Sex Offender Registration Program), Code of Criminal Procedure, the receiving county shall have jurisdiction to conduct a hearing under that chapter. This subsection does not prohibit the receiving county juvenile court from considering the written recommendations of the sending county juvenile court.(e)
This section does not affect the sending county’s jurisdiction over any new offense committed by the child in the sending county.
