Texas 77803.
ARTICLE II
TERM
2.01 The term of this Agreement is for 12 months commencing July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018. It shall be automatically
renewed for one (1) year terms thereafter, commencing July 1st and ending June 300a of each year, unless one

C. Children from Juvenile Probation who are alleged to have engaged in delinquent conduct, or conduct

E. Acceptance of a child by the Facility will be determined by Brazos County Juvenile Facility Staff. Service

If a child is accepted by the Facility from Juvenile Probation and the child thereafter is determined to be, in the
sole judgment of the Administrator, mentally or physically unfit, dangerous, unmanageable, unsuitable for the
program or combination of such conditions or whose mental or physical conduct would or might endanger the
other occupants of the Facility, then the Service Provider shall notify Juvenile Probation of this determination.
The child shall immediately be removed from the Facility but in no event longer than twenty four (24) hours after
notification. It will be the responsibility of Juvenile Probation, at its expense, to provide for the transportation
for the removal of the child. Any child not removed from the facility within 24 hours will be transported by

the transportation. The daily rate of detention shall increase to $200.00 for any child not removed within the 24
hour period.
Any damage to county property or juvenile facility fixtures will be paid for by the Juvenile Probation Department
and charges will be filed against the juvenile with the Brazos County Sheriff's Department.
F. Service Provider agrees that the facility will accept any child who qualifies, without regard to such child's
religion, race, creed, sex or national origin.
G. Itis further understood and agreed by the parties that children placed in pre -adjudication care in the Facility
shall be removed from the Facility by the appropriate authorities from Juvenile Probation, or its agents, servants
or employees at the conclusion of the ten (10) day working period authorized by the court order issued at the
conclusion of the initial detention hearing by the Judge of the appropriate juvenile court unless a new order has
been issued authorizing the continued detention, and a copy of the new order has been delivered to the Facility,
or unless a waiver of the ten (10) working day hearing has been executed and a signed copy of the waiver is
