In 2015, the 84th Texas Legislature (Regular Session) instructed TJJD to develop and adopt a regionalization plan, in consultation with local juvenile probation departments, for keeping children closer to home in lieu of commitment to the secure facilities operated by the agency. The Regionalization Task Force, made up of representatives from probation associations, provider associations, advocates, and staff was tasked with developing the plan.
