SB 2757 amends the Family Code to reduce the maximum duration of juvenile detention orders following a detention hearing from 10 to 5 working days, or from 15 to 7 working days in counties without certified juvenile detention facilities. It also mandates a study by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department on the effects of detention orders in juvenile court proceedings. The study will analyze detention durations, hearing intervals, and demographic data, with findings and recommendations due to state leadership by December 1, 2026. The bill's provisions expire on September 1, 2027.
