House votes to disband scandal-plagued Texas Youth Commission

AUSTIN — The agency at the center of a sex scandal involving youth lockups is a step closer to being disbanded.
The House and Senate have both passed a bill to merge the Texas Youth Commission and the Juvenile Probation Commission to focus on community-based supervision and treatment programs and reserve the lockups for the most violent offenders.
