Texas SB468 sets a 30-day limit for the Texas Juvenile Justice Department to accept custody of a committed person and requires compensation to.

Texas SB468 amends the Family Code to mandate that the Texas Juvenile Justice Department must accept custody of a person sentenced to commitment within 30 days of the judge's order. If the department fails to do so, it must compensate the county for each day the person remains in county detention, with the amount equal to what the department would have spent to detain the person. The bill also amends the Human Resources Code to ensure that time spent in a pre-adjudication secure detention facility is credited toward the minimum length of stay for a child committed to the department.
