context_page_description: The Texas Youth Commission was a Texas state agency which operated juvenile corrections facilities in the state. The commission was headquartered in the Brown-Heatly Building in Austin. As of 2007, it was the second largest juvenile corrections agency in the United States, after the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. As of December 1, 2011, the agency was replaced by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.
context_section_description: At the time of its closure, the TYC operated correctional institutions and halfway houses.
  Institutions:
  Corsicana Residential Treatment Center - Corsicana
  The center was for youth with mental illnesses or severe emotional disturbances
  Evins Regional Juvenile Center - unincorporated Hidalgo County
  Gainesville State School - unincorporated Cooke County
  Giddings State School - unincorporated Lee County
  Ron Jackson State Juvenile Correctional Complex (Unit I) - Formerly Brownwood State School - Brownwood
  A public road separates Units I and the former II, which operated independently from Unit I. The facility is named after former TYC director Ron Jackson. The renaming ceremony was held in Unit II on Tuesday, September 16, 2003. Ron Jackson II closed by August 31, 2011.
  Unit I houses the gateway program for females entering the TYC system. Most females in TYC remain at Ron Jackson SJCC I. Some girls may be placed in the WINGS mother-child and pregnant girl program and contract facilities. Unit I has been a female-only complex since it opened in September 1970.
  Unit II was for male offenders who violated the terms of their juvenile paroles. In May 1970 Unit II opened as a reception center for girls. In 2007 TYC announced that it planned to convert Unit II into a female unit to avoid complications between boys and girls.
  McLennan County State Juvenile Correctional Facility (Unit I and Unit II) - unincorporated McLennan County, near Mart
  As of 2011 units I and II were combined into one facility. The TYC governing board's original agenda had plans to close both McLennan County units, but the board changed its plans. The units are about 20 miles (32 km) south of Waco.
