SB 804 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to transportation to school for a child required to attend school as a condition of probation.

This bill requires courts to address transportation barriers when placing children on probation with school attendance as a condition. Specifically, courts must consult with parents, school officials, and probation officers to create a transportation plan preventing absences due to lack of transportation. Probation officers must monitor attendance and report voluntary absences, considering whether transportation was reasonably available on the day of absence. The law applies to all probation orders issued on or after September 1, 2025, regardless of when the underlying conduct occurred.
