HB 1821 amends the Texas Family Code to require juvenile probation departments to provide both written and oral explanations to juveniles and their guardians regarding the procedures for sealing juvenile records. It mandates the inclusion of resources, such as lists of attorneys who provide low- or no-cost assistance for record sealing. Additionally, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department is tasked with publishing an online brochure and maintaining a directory of attorneys offering these services, accessible through the State Bar of Texas website.
