Greg Abbott signed a bill to stop it.House Bill 1819 takes effect on Sept. 1. It forbids Texas cities and counties from enforcing a curfew "to regulate the movements or actions of persons younger than 18 years of age." Emergency management curfews can still be imposed under a different section of state law. When do passed bills become law in Texas? An internet search revealed several Texas cities have juvenile curfew ordinances including Dallas, San Antonio, San Marcos, Allen and Leander. Austin dropped its curfew in 2017.

"I think it can be a deterrent to crime."Pa...
