AN ACT

relating to the transfer of a failure to attend school proceeding to 
juvenile court.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 51.08, Family Code, is amended by adding 
Subsection (e) to read as follows:
	(e)  A juvenile court may not refuse to accept the transfer 
of a case brought under Section 25.094, Education Code, for a child 
described by Subsection (b)(1) if a prosecuting attorney for the 
court determines under Section 53.012 that the case is legally 
sufficient under Section 53.01 for adjudication in juvenile court.
	SECTION 2.  Section 51.08, Family Code, as amended by this 
Act, applies only to the transfer of a case to juvenile court that 
occurs on or after the effective date of this Act.  A transfer that 
occurs before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law 
in effect when the transfer occurred, and the former law is 
continued in effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
