TX HB3360

Prohibits community supervision (including deferred adjudication) for defendants aged 17 or older who commit felonies while in Texas Juvenile Justice Department custody, residing in TJJD halfway houses, or placed in secure correctional/detention facilities

Redefines "habitual felony conduct" to require only one prior felony adjudication instead of the current two, making it easier to classify juveniles as habitual offenders

Allows prosecutors to refer cases to grand jury for juveniles who commit first, second, or third-degree felonies while in TJJD custody or secure facilities, in addition to existing serious offense categories

Enables courts to transfer individuals aged 18 or older who violate probation conditions to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with hearings required to be recorded and retained for at least two years

Lowers the age threshold from 16 to 15 years for TJJD to refer determinately sentenced youth to juvenile court for potential transfer to adult prison, and requires mandatory extension of TJJD custody for youth with pending felony petitions or indictments

Expands the offense of removing electronic monitoring devices to include those on juvenile probation, TJJD release under supervision, or TJJD halfway house placement
