committed to the State schools for delinquents, and any amounts
that a juvenile court may direct to be paid by persons legally
responsible for the child are applicable to the child's current
support and maintenance.
SUMMARY
Under Articles 5143d and 3202a, V.C.S., the
Texas Youth Council is authorized to establish
charges for support and maintenance (excluding
cost of education) for wards of the Waco and
Corsicana State Homes, and to seek and accept
collection of such charges.
The Superintendents of the respective Homes,
acting as representative payees to receive
Social Security payments on behalf of children
resident in their respective Homes, are legally
authorized to pay to the State a portion of the
respective beneficiary payments as reimbursement
for the children's current support and mainten-
ance under the provisions of the Social Security
Act, 42 USCA 405 (j).
The Texas Youth Council has the same authority
with respect to children committed to the State
schools for delinquents, and any amounts that a
juvenile court may direct to be paid by persons
responsible for the child are applicable to the
child's current support and maintenance.
Yours very truly,
WAGGONER CARR
Attorney General
