§ 61.103 Right of Access to Child

The parent of a child taken into custody for delinquent conduct, conduct indicating a need for supervision, or conduct that violates a condition of probation imposed by the juvenile court has the right to communicate in person privately with the child for reasonable periods of time while the child is in:

a juvenile processing office;

a secure detention facility;

a secure correctional facility;

a court-ordered placement facility; or

the custody of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.

The time, place, and conditions of the private, in-person communication may be regulated to prevent disruption of scheduled activities and to maintain the safety and security of the facility.
