Seguin’s juvenile curfew ordinance is DEAD New state law prevents city's enforcement of daytime, nighttime curfews for youth Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- A long standing juvenile curfew ordinance in Seguin is being removed from the books. The Seguin City Council on Tuesday approved the removal of both the daytime and nighttime curfew ordinances for children. Seguin City Attorney Andy Quittner says the curfews are being removed because the city can no longer enforce them thanks to a new state law, which limits the city’s ability to have its own rules like this. “The reason I brought this, in part, was to kind of bring some attention (to this). You don’t want dead ordinances, but you can leave them. This year’s
legislative session probably went the furthest in taking away local control in favor of state control in a number of areas. There’s been a lot of talk about the Death Star Bill, but there are a lot of other areas that affect both quality of life and costs,” said Quittner. Quittner described the curfew ordinances as a quality of life issue in Seguin. He says they benefited the community and the teens themselves. He says it wasn’t used to lock-up or harass kids, but instead it was a way to intervene before something bad happened, and it often was used to get kids home or to get them to school. Curfew, pg. 3
