Juvenile corrections efforts by the state began in 1887 with the
passage of legislation for a House of Correction and Reformatory (House Bill
21, 20th Legislature, Regular Session). This correctional facility for boys
began operation in 1889 in Gatesville. In 1913, the 33rd Legislature authorized
the creation of the Girl's Training School (House Bill 570, Regular Session), a
correctional facility for girls in Gainesville. It began operation in 1916. In
1945, the legislature approved the establishment of the State Training School
for Delinquent and Dependent Colored Girls (Senate Bill 46, 49th Legislature,
Regular Session). Located in Brady, it began operation in 1947. Between 1887
and 1920, separate boards of directors managed each of these schools and
reported directly to the Governor. The Texas State Board of Control, created by
the 36th Legislature in 1919 (Senate Bill 147, Regular Session) took over
management of the three schools from 1920 to 1949.
Additional 1887 legislation established facilities to care for
dependent and neglected children. The State Orphan's Asylum (later known as the
Corsicana State Home), began operation in 1889 in Corsicana (Senate Bill 261,
20th Legislature, Regular Session, 1887). Further legislation in 1887 created
another home (House Bill 445, 20th Legislature, Regular Session), located in
Austin, known as the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum for Colored Youth (later named
the Texas Blind, Deaf and Orphan School). A third home was established in 1919
and located in Waco (House Bill 112, 36th Legislature, Regular Session), the
State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children (later known as the Waco State
Home). The state homes, as with the schools for delinquent children, were
managed by the Board of Control beginning in 1920. Management of the Waco State
Home passed to the Department of Public Welfare in 1939 (Senate Bill 36, 46th
Legislature, Regular Session). Management of the Corsicana State Home, the
Texas Blind, Deaf and Orphan Home, and the Waco State Home was transferred to
the newly created Texas Board for State Hospitals and Special Schools in 1949
(House Bill 1, 51st Legislature, Regular Session).
In 1947, the 50th Legislature created the State Training Code
Commission (Senate Concurrent Resolution 34, Regular Session), composed of
seven members appointed by the Governor, to study the state schools for
delinquent children and examine the problem of juvenile delinquency. It was to
determine changes that would improve the administration of the schools and
enable them to more nearly accomplish their broad social objectives. The
Commission's report to the 51st Legislature resulted in the creation of the
Texas State Youth Development Council.
The State Youth Development Council was created in 1949 (House Bill
705, 51st Legislature, Regular Session). It was composed of six "influential"
citizens appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate, and eight
ex-officio members - Chairman, Board of Control; Executive Director, Department
of Public Welfare; Commissioner of Education; Executive Director, Board for
State Hospitals and Special Schools; State Health Officer; Director, Department
of Public Safety; Executive Secretary, State Parks Board; and Chairman, Texas
Employment Commission. The Governor appointed the chair. The purpose of the
Council was to coordinate state efforts to help communities develop and
strengthen all child services. It was also directed to administer the state's
correctional facilities for delinquent children by providing a program of
constructive training aimed at the rehabilitation and successful
reestablishment of these children into society. The Council took over control
of the correctional schools then managed by the State Board of Control - the
Gatesville State School for Boys, Gainesville State School for Girls, and the
Brady State School for Delinquent Colored Girls.
The State Youth Development Council became the Texas Youth Council in
1957 (Senate Bill 303, 55th Legislature, Regular Session). It was composed of
three members appointed by the governor with consent of the Senate, to six year
overlapping terms, and the members elected the chair. The members were to be
citizens recognized in their communities for their interest in youth. The size
of the commission increased to six in 1975 (Senate Bill 278, 64th Legislature,
Regular Session), with the same qualifications applying to the new members. The
Youth Council had the same duties as the State Youth Development Council with
the additional mandate to provide parole supervision for certain delinquent
children until their discharge. The Legislature also directed the Youth Council
to operate institutions for dependent and neglected children (Corsicana State
Home, Waco State Home, and the Texas Blind, Deaf and Orphan School). During the
1970s the Youth Council initiated a county juvenile probation subsidy program
that was transferred to the newly created Texas Juvenile Probation Commission
in 1981 (House Bill 1904, 67th Legislature, Regular Session).
In 1971, a class action lawsuit, Morales v. Turman, was brought
against the agency, its officers, and staff by children confined in the
juvenile corrections facilities. In response to the lawsuit, changes were
initiated in the way juvenile correction facilities were operated.
The name of the agency was changed to the Texas Youth Commission in
1983 (Senate Bill 422, 68th Legislature, Regular Session). The Youth Commission
operates under the Texas Human Resource Code, Title 3, Chapter 61, as the
state's juvenile correction agency. Under Title 3 of the Texas Family Code, the
Commission provides for the care, custody, rehabilitation, and reestablishment
into society of those youth convicted of delinquent conduct. The Commission
operates secure residential, institutional, and community-based programs for
delinquent youth, and supervises the youth once they return to the community.
It also contracts with private sector providers to operate residential and
non-residential services. The agency protects the identities of youth admitted
to their facilities by keeping personal information confidential (such as names
and home addresses) and not allowing photographs of the children to be taken
(without permission of the child) as required by the Texas Family Code, Section
58.005. Care for dependent and neglected children is no longer a function of
the Youth Commission. Effective 1992, responsibility for these children is
handled by the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (DPRS). The
department was created in 1991 (House Bill 7, 72nd Legislature, First Called
Session) and began operation in 1992.
In 1995, the 74th Legislature passed an omnibus juvenile justice
reform package, House Bill 327, that changed the way juvenile justice was
administered in Texas. The bill expanded the offenses for which a youth could
receive a determinate sentence (sentence with a fixed term) to include most
violent offenses, such as murder, rape, and aggravated assault. It also enabled
supervision of youth to continue into the adult criminal justice system;
lowered the age that a juvenile could be tried as an adult from 15 to 14; and
directed that both the most violent juvenile defenders, and mentally retarded
delinquent youth be sent to the Youth Commission. In light of this new
legislation, the Youth Commission provides greater structure, strictly enforced
discipline, and increased accountability of the delinquent youth in their
programs.
Youth committed for minor offenses are the responsibility of local
governments. The Youth Commission receives the most serious offenders with
longer sentences. These comprise two categories: committed juveniles and
sentenced offenders. Committed juveniles are sent to the Commission by juvenile
courts after adjudication, allowing the Youth Commission to determine the
length of stay and the type of services provided (e.g., Capitol Offender
Program or Chemical Dependency Program). The second category, sentenced
offenders, are given a specific sentence through determinate sentencing status
and cannot be released prior to their sentence termination.
The agency directly operates fourteen correctional institutions (one
more was scheduled to open in 1999) and nine community-based residential
programs; and contracts with private sector providers for a variety of
residential programs. Through these institutions and facilities the agency
provides accredited secondary education, vocational training, and several
specialized programs, concerning sex offenders, capital offenders who have
committed murder, chemical dependency, resocialization, independent living
preparation, mentally retarded youth, and seriously emotionally disturbed
youth. The commission also operates a parole system for supervision of youth
released from residential programs.
The Texas Youth Commission also administers the Interstate Compact on
Juveniles (ICJ) for the state of Texas. The Compact provides for the
cooperative supervision of juvenile probationers and parolees who move from
state to state. It also provides for the return of non-delinquent runaway
youth, parole and probation absconders, and escapees to their home state. The
administrators of each state compact are members of the Association of Juvenile
Compact Administrators (AJCA). The AJCA holds annual meetings and sponsors
mid-winter workshops on relevant juvenile issues.
According to an internal agency history (and repeated by the Handbook
of Texas) the roots of the Youth Commission extend back to 1859 when the Eighth
Legislature authorized separate corrections facilities for children (the age of
criminal responsibility was nine at this time, it was raised to seventeen in
1918). No funding was provided and such facilities were not established until
1887. We were unable to locate the 1859 legislation referred to in these
sources.
The commission is headed by an executive director, has about 4900 FTE
staff (as of 2001), and manages about 7000 juvenile offenders. It operates
under V.T.C.A , Human Resources Code, Title 3, Chapter 61; and the Texas Family
Code, Title 3.
Return to the Table of Contents
The Texas Youth Council [note that the abbreviation TYC is used
hereafter to refer to both the Texas Youth Council and, as of September 1,1983,
the Texas Youth Commission] was headed by James A. Turman from its inception in
1957 until his resignation on September 21, 1973. He was succeeded in 1973 by
Ron Jackson, the Superintendent of Brownwood State Home and School for Girls.
During the late 1960's and early 1970's, TYC operated six major institutions
for delinquents: Brownwood State Home and School for Girls, Crockett State
School for Girls, Gainesville State School for Girls, Giddings State Home and
School for Boys, the Mountain View State School for Boys, and Gatesville State
Schools for Boys which had seven sub-schools, namely Valley, Hackberry,
Riverside, Terrace, Hilltop, Live Oak, and Sycamore. The TYC also operated two
Statewide Reception Centers, one at Brownwood for girls and one at Gatesville
for boys. In addition, TYC was responsible for several smaller homes for
dependent or neglected children, such as the West Texas Children's Home, Waco
State Home, and Corsicana State Home. During the 1970's, TYC underwent a
massive transformation in response to litigation and court-ordered reforms
resulting from the Morales, et al. v. Turman, et al. class action suit on
behalf of the committed minors.
The Morales litigation commenced on February 12, 1971, with the filing
of a class action suit (the complaint and first amended complaint with two
major causes of action) on behalf of those involuntarily committed to the
custody of the Texas Youth Council against, both personally and professionally,
Dr. James A. Turman, then Executive Director of the TYC, members of the TYC,
superintendents of TYC schools, and other employees responsible for the
supervision of juveniles committed to TYC custody. The first major hearings
occurred on February 16, April 19, and September 7, 1971 under Judge William
Wayne Justice of the District Court, Eastern District of Texas, in Tyler,
Texas. It was not until November 1972, however, that the Judge issued a summary
judgement in favor of the plaintiffs' first cause of action, specifically
regarding TYC interference with the attorney-client relationship, ordering the
TYC to change its practices and awarding the plaintiffs both general and
punitive damages. In December of 1972 Judge Justice issued a second summary
judgement in favor of the plaintiffs' second cause of action, regarding the
failure of many juvenile courts to provide due process protections for minors.
He ordered the defendants to come up with a plan to provide for legal
representation of minors throughout Texas and to produce a complete list of all
committed minor children and the representation they received prior to
commitment, eventually releasing a number of children on due process
grounds.
However, during an early portion of this initial case, the plaintiffs,
by their attorneys, received permission to interview a majority of TYC inmates,
a process not completed until February 1972. Upon review of the interview data,
plaintiffs believed they found evidence of pervasive constitutional
deprivations suffered by TYC inmates and, on this basis, amended their original
complaint (creating the second amended complaint and the third cause).
Therefore, though the original scope of the suit was limited to securing
private access to counsel and due process protections, the case continued and
expanded to include a wide range of issues regarding the nature and adequacy of
TYC programs and procedures. The first main premise for this third cause was
the perceived failure of the TYC to provide rehabilitative treatment, rather
than punishment, for adjudicated youth, in spite of the fact that the
constitutionality of juvenile courts specifically depended upon the promise of
such rehabilitative treatment. The second major premise for action was based
upon perceived constitutional violations falling under the First, Eighth and
Fourteenth Amendments, specifically including violations such as censorship of
incoming and outgoing mail, prohibition of speaking in languages other than
English, physical abuse, use of tear gas for punishment, security/solitary
confinement, requiring children to remain silent for punishment or to perform
repetitive, degrading and unnecessary tasks for hours, and placement in a
maximum security facility without due process. Additional key issues concerned
the quality and sufficiency of medical and psychiatric care.
In July and August, 1973, during a six week trial in Tyler, Texas
regarding this second complaint and third cause, Judge Justice issued an
emergency parliamentary injunction which forbade the continuation of
particularly egregious practices and activities that would "work irreparable
injury, both physical and psychological, upon members of the plaintiff class."
The interim order was followed somewhat later (August 30, 1974) by the Judge's
Memorandum Opinion and Order. The bulk of the memorandum dealt with the due
process right to treatment, the severe lack of rehabilitative treatment, and
the court's order of corrections to conform with this right. As a part of the
correction, the court ordered Mountain View and the Gatesville Schools for Boys
shut down (as occurred in 1975 and 1979, respectively) and expected TYC to
create or discover a system of community-based treatment alternatives.
The TYC appealed the 1974 order, challenging Judge Justice's
jurisdiction. In 1976, the Fifth Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals held that
because granting the relief sought would entail extensive alterations in
virtually every phase of TYC operations, it ought to be retried before a
three-judge panel. On a further appeal by the plaintiffs in 1977, however, the
U.S. Supreme Court disagreed and held that a single district judge would be
appropriate to hear the case, denying the State's Motion for Rehearing and
ordering the case to be heard by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals; the
Supreme Court did not address the substance of Judge Justice's 1974 order. The
case returned on remand to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which considered
the defendants' claim that they had instituted substantial programmatic changes
since 1971 and remanded the case back to the U.S. District Court, Eastern
District of Texas and Judge Justice so that he might determine whether or not
the same level of injunctive relief was still appropriate.
Before Judge Justice, the parties decided to try and enter as much of
the evidence as possible into the record prior to a formal trial. The
defendants sought to establish that, to whatever extent egregious practices had
existed, both those practices and overall conditions had already been
drastically improved. Thus they presented to the court three basic categories
of evidence of changed conditions: first, statistical and factual data
concerning the student population and staff qualifications; second, descriptive
information concerning programming and other aspects of TYC operations; and
third, expert evaluations of certain aspects of TYC operations. In addition,
some limited formal discovery was submitted and ruled upon by Judge Justice,
namely expert evaluations by both parties, the taking of depositions, and the
submission of interrogatories. As a part of this evidence gathering process,
plaintiffs' lawyers sent out two sets of interrogatories, one general in 1979
and one specific in 1981. On August 21, 1981 the parties and amici filed a
Joint Status Report stating that they had agreed to suspend formal discovery
pending the completion of both informal discovery and a series of meetings
intended to negotiate a settlement of all remaining outstanding issues.
Settlement negotiations were carried out during 1982 and the first
proposed settlement agreement was presented to Judge Justice on March 3, 1983.
The Judge did not approve the settlement. The parties then submitted a second
agreement, which Judge Justice also rejected in a Memorandum Opinion and Order
on June 28, 1983. In a hearing on July 11, 1983, the Court accepted the
parties' request to have plaintiffs' experts tour all TYC facilities and report
back to the Court regarding the state of conditions at a later date. These
tours occurred during October and November, 1983, and following their
completion, the parties submitted the second amended settlement agreement.
Finally, on April 16, 1984, Judge Justice approved the settlement and dismissed
the case.
As a required part of the agreement, however, the second amended
settlement established the creation of a Committee of Consultants whose purpose
was to review the compliance of TYC with the terms of the settlement, to report
the results of these reviews to TYC's Executive Director, and to recommend to
the TYC answers and solutions to issues and problems which were referred to the
Committee by either the terms of the settlement agreement or the Executive
Director in the future. The Committee was to consist of three experts (Allen
Breed, Milton Shore, and Frank Garfunkel), the chairman and vice-chairman to be
chosen from among them, who would serve for four consecutive years, beginning
not later than September 1, 1984. Any continuation of the Committee beyond the
four year period was up to the discretion of TYC, barring the event that the
Committee became involved in litigation against TYC in which case any time
spent in litigation would not count as any part of the four total years.
Funding was provided by TYC.
To fulfil its purposes, the Committee was to inspect each TYC facility
once a year and TYC contract facilities and other programs whenever feasible
and appropriate. The scheduling of the inspections was at the discretion of the
Committee, which should, but was not required to, give TYC prior notice. Follow
up inspections could be performed either with the agreement of the Executive
Director or under two exceptional circumstances, namely to observe TYC
responses to identified and acknowledged problems or if, after consultation
with the Executive Director regarding problems, a majority of the Committee
voted to hold follow-up inspections. The Committee had to provide a written
report of findings and recommendations within 30 days following inspections and
the TYC Board had two weeks, following its first meeting to discuss the report,
to respond. Committee members were authorized to request personal meetings with
TYC administrators, to meet with staff and students in private, to have
unlimited access to all relevant files and records, and to employ consultants,
if necessary, to assist them in their work. TYC was required to provide the
Committee with a complete set of all rules, policies, procedures, manuals, and
newsletters and to select an employee liaison through whom Committee
information requests could be made. Specific areas which the Committee was to
review included the use of security and isolation, the use and adequacy of the
grievance system, the need for and/or availability of student advocates, the
adequacy of parole release criteria, the adequacy of due process protections,
the role of the Chief of Educational Services, the vocational education
programs, the development and monitoring of the TYC program evaluation system,
and non-institutional community placement alternatives.
The Committee issued reports in November 1985, December 1986, October
1987, and November 1988 with the consistent findings that the TYC was
generally, and increasingly, in compliance with the settlement agreement. The
Consultants Committee was not continued beyond its original four year
mandate.
Return to the Table of Contents
Types of material found in the Morales case files include legal
documents, reports, correspondence, memoranda, trial proceedings, testimony,
depositions, charts, drafts, publications, administrative records, photocopies,
clippings, manuals, field notes, and eight photographs. The records range in
date from 1949 until 1990 and undated (bulk 1969-1989). These are records from
the Morales v. Turman lawsuit, filed by students in several state juvenile
correctional institutions against the Texas Youth Commission. The materials
document the entire history of the Morales lawsuit, from its inception to the
final report of the Consultants Committee.
The records have been arranged in file drawer order with undesignated
material at the end remaining in the order in which they arrived. Drawers 1-9,
with the exception of Drawer 3, appear to be materials gathered as evidence and
in basic preparation for the 1973 trial and the 1974 memorandum opinion and
order - some of the materials did become court exhibits. Drawer 3, however,
particularly regards the immediate aftermath of the trial and the 1974
memorandum and opinion. Following Drawer 9, the complete 1973 trial proceedings
are listed. Drawers B-1 through B-4 appear to contain materials concerning the
appeal process, changing conditions at TYC, and information gathered for the
potential re-hearing, such as the 1979 and 1981 interrogatories. An exception
to this tendency exists among the files marked with roman numerals found in
Drawer B-2. These materials generally document the process of the litigation
from the initial complaint (regarding lack of access to attorneys and failure
to provide the children with due process) up until the actual trial on the
second amended complaint (charging major constitutional deprivations). Finally,
the undesignated materials primarily concern processes of negotiation,
settlement, and the creation and functioning of the Morales Consultants
Committee. Some files appear to be numbered according to an unknown system,
possibly the date of creation, and their relationship to the surrounding
records is unclear, thus they remain in the order in which the State Archives
received them. Some records from earlier periods are found randomly among these
undesignated materials; some documents are duplicates of earlier records.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily
reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to
provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.
