§ 51.073. TRANSFER OF PROBATION SUPERVISION BETWEEN 
COUNTIES:  PERMANENT SUPERVISION.  (a) In this section:
		(1)  "Receiving county" means the county to which a 
child on probation has moved or intends to move.
		(2)  "Sending county" means the county that:                                  
			(A)  originally placed the child on probation;  or                           
			(B)  assumed permanent supervision of the child 
under an inter-county transfer of probation supervision.
	(b)  On transfer of permanent supervision of a child under 
Section 51.072(m) or (n), the juvenile court of the sending county 
shall order the juvenile probation department of the sending county 
to provide the juvenile probation department of the receiving 
county with the order of transfer.  On receipt of the order of 
transfer, the juvenile probation department of the receiving county 
shall ensure that the order of transfer, the petition, the order of 
adjudication, the order of disposition, and the conditions of 
probation are filed with the clerk of the juvenile court of the 
receiving county.
	(c)  The juvenile court of the receiving county shall require 
that the child be brought before the court in order to impose 
conditions of probation.  The child shall be represented by counsel 
as provided by Section 51.10.
	(d)  Once permanent supervision is transferred to the 
juvenile probation department of the receiving county, the 
receiving county is fully responsible for selecting and imposing 
conditions of probation, providing supervision, modifying 
conditions of probation, and revoking probation.  The sending 
county has no further jurisdiction over the child's case.
	(e)  This section does not affect the sending county's 
jurisdiction over any new offense committed by the child in the 
sending county.
