The Juvenile Justice Association of Texas,
or JJAT, was formed after a core work
group of approximately 40 representatives held
meetings to discuss the needs of the juvenile
probation, detention and residential services
personnel, as well as the legislative issues
that affect the lives of the children in our
system. Too many times, our viewpoints and
concerns were blended with the adult system, the
school system and others, and we just got lost
in the shuffle. With this Association, or goal
is simple: Juvenile Justice.
