Notice to Clients:

The Texas Juvenile Probation Commission (TJPC) investigates complaints against county Juvenile Boards relating to the provision of juvenile services in every Texas County. TJPC, however, requires that the Juvenile Board be given the opportunity to resolve all complaints first at the local county level.

Should you have a concern or complaint regarding the provision of Juvenile Probation, Detention or Correctional Services, please contact the Victoria County Chief Juvenile Probation Officer:

Pama Hencerling, CJPO
Victoria County Juvenile Services Department
97 Foster Field Dr.
Victoria, TX 77904
361 575-0399 Phone ~ 361 576-0134 Fax

If you are unable to resolve your concern or complaint with the Chief, you may ask to be placed on the Juvenile Board agenda to present your complaint in person at the next regularly scheduled Juvenile Board meeting, by contacting:

Honorable Stephen Williams
Chairman, Victoria County Juvenile Board
115 N. Bridge St., 3rd Floor
Victoria, TX 77901
361 575-2412 Phone

If the Juvenile Board is unable to resolve your concerns, you may file a written complaint against the Juvenile Board with:

Texas Juvenile Probation Commission
Attention: Legal Division
P.O. Box 13547
Austin, TX 78711

TJPC’s investigation is limited to determining whether the Juvenile Board is in compliance with TJPC’s administrative standards. TJPC’s investigation will not address the appropriateness of a disposition by the Juvenile Court. TJPC does not have the authority to override an order issued by a Juvenile Court.
