Summary

Frisco repealed its entire juvenile curfew ordinance on August 15, 2023 under Ordinance 2023-08-37, deleting former Article V (Sections 54-132 through 54-137) from Chapter 54 in full. Following the state's House Bill 1819 changes to curfew authority, the city chose not to re-adopt a curfew, so the article now sits reserved with no local nighttime restriction on minors.

Editor's note-Former article V, secs. 54-132-54-137 pertaining to the juvenile curfew was repealed and deleted in its entirety by Ordinance 2023-08-37 adopted 8/15/2023. Prior to the deletion, this article derived from the following: Ordinance 07-09-50, sec. 2, adopted 9/18/07; Ordinance 13-09-50 adopted 9/3/13; Ordinance 17-04-24 adopted 4/4/17; Ordinance 2020-03-10 adopted 3/3/20; Ordinance 2023-02-05 adopted 2/7/2023.

Full Breakdown

Frisco's Code of Ordinances once devoted Article V of Chapter 54 (sections 54-132 through 54-137) to a juvenile curfew, amended repeatedly between 2007 and 2020 under Ordinances 07-09-50, 13-09-50, 17-04-24, 2020-03-10, and 2023-02-05. The compiler's editor's note that now sits at the head of Article V confirms the city council repealed and deleted that article in its entirety by Ordinance 2023-08-37, adopted August 15, 2023, leaving sections 54-132 through 54-170 marked '(Reserved)' with no substantive text. The repeal came in the same year the Texas Legislature's House Bill 1819 changed the state-law framework that had authorized local juvenile curfews, and Frisco did not re-adopt a curfew ordinance under the new authorization; the code shows no successor provision anywhere in Chapter 54 or elsewhere in the compiled ordinances.

Practically, that means Frisco police do not enforce a citywide nighttime curfew against minors based on age and hour alone the way the pre-2023 ordinance did; any curfew-style enforcement would have to rest on some other basis, such as the separate noise, trespass, or disorderly-conduct provisions found elsewhere in the code and in the Texas Penal Code, rather than on an age-based curfew. Parents, guardians, and businesses that once had to know the old curfew's exempted hours and defenses no longer need to track any of that framework for Frisco specifically, though a neighboring city that kept or re-adopted its own curfew would still apply within its own limits.

Violations & Fines

There is no juvenile curfew offense to violate in Frisco: sections 54-132 through 54-170 are reserved and carry no penalty language. Any enforcement against a minor out at night has to be grounded in a different, generally applicable offense, such as the noise, trespass, or public-disturbance provisions elsewhere in the code or under state law, each carrying its own separate penalty structure rather than a curfew fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Frisco have a juvenile curfew?
No. The city council repealed and deleted the entire curfew article, former Chapter 54 Article V (sections 54-132 through 54-137), by Ordinance 2023-08-37 on August 15, 2023. The compiler's editor's note confirms the repeal, and those sections now sit marked 'Reserved' with no curfew text or penalty in the current code.
Why did Frisco repeal its curfew ordinance?
The repeal came in 2023, the same year the Texas Legislature's House Bill 1819 changed the state law that had authorized local juvenile curfews statewide. The Frisco Code of Ordinances does not state a separate local reason in the text; it only records the repeal date and the repealing ordinance number, 2023-08-37.
Can police still stop a minor for being out late in Frisco?
Not under a curfew, since none exists. An officer would need a different legal basis, such as a noise, trespass, or disorderly-conduct violation under Frisco's code or the Texas Penal Code, rather than the age-and-hour standard the old curfew ordinance used before its 2023 repeal.
