Relating to the authority of a political subdivision to adopt or enforce a juvenile curfew; creating criminal offenses.

HB 1511 establishes rules for enforcing juvenile curfew ordinances in Texas cities and counties. It requires police officers to either release children under 17 to parents/guardians, take them to court, or transport them to a designated juvenile curfew processing office within six hours. Processing offices must be non-secure, unlocked spaces with constant visual supervision, prohibiting physical restraints or holding children longer than necessary for basic processing like identification or court transport. The bill explicitly states that curfew violations do not constitute "secured custody" under other laws.
