Texas HB1511 amends laws to allow counties and municipalities to set juvenile curfews and outlines procedures for handling curfew violations.

HB1511 grants counties and general-law municipalities the authority to establish juvenile curfews to regulate the movements of persons under 17 years of age. These curfews can set different hours for different days and exempt certain activities like work commutes. The bill also mandates that every third year, local governing bodies review the curfew's impact and consider its continuation. It specifies procedures for handling curfew violations, including immediate release to a parent or guardian and restrictions on holding a child in a processing office.
