Full Breakdown

Pflugerville cannot set a nighttime or daytime curfew for minors. Local Government Code § 370.008, added by House Bill 1819 and effective September 1, 2023, strips every Texas political subdivision of the power to adopt or enforce a juvenile curfew. Any Pflugerville curfew citation pending on that date was dismissed automatically, and no new ones can issue. Police can still enforce a Chapter 418 emergency-management curfew that applies to all residents during a declared disaster, but that is the only exception the statute leaves standing.

Violations & Fines

There is nothing for a minor, parent, or business to violate: the prohibition runs against the government. A Pflugerville officer who wrote a juvenile-curfew ticket would be enforcing a measure Texas law voids.
