Victoria County Juvenile Services

Victoria County Juvenile Services, under the direction of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, the Victoria County Juvenile Board, and Chief Juvenile Probation Officer Pama Hencerling, serves both pre-adjudicated and post-adjudicated youth between the ages of 10-17. In addition to the many community-based programs offered by the department, we also operate a 36 bed detention center and 36 bed post-adjudication residential facilities. We also have a specialized program for females and pregnant female offenders which is offered in a secure setting.
Juvenile Services staff provides not only supervision to the juvenile but numerous programs and services to the juveniles and their families. Some of the programs include: early intervention/prevention programs, anger management, parenting skills, mentoring, life skills, substance abuse education, community service restitution/service projects, Why Try and Thinking for a Change to name a few. Juvenile Services also partners with local agencies in Victoria County that share a philosophy to ensure a continuum of care to the juveniles we serve.
