With just weeks before a teen curfew runs out, Fort Worth city leaders still disagree on whether it should be extended, or eliminated after nearly 30 years.
Council member Elizabeth Beck proposed changes to the rule during a long work session Tuesday, including issuing a warning to a child for the first offense, and a civil citation that could be erased from their record if it happens again.
Under the current ordinance, minors are not allowed to be in any public place after 11 p.m. from Sunday through Thursday, and after 12:01 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. There are exceptions for work, emergencies, errands for parents or attending supervised activities. Executive Assistant Police Chief Robert Alldredge referred to the ordinance as a"caretaking function," allowing police to get kids out of trouble before they're in it.
