City Council is considering an extension to a curfew ordinance for teenagers. Residents have another chance to voice their opinion on the issue too.Juveniles under the age of 17 cannot be out alone between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday or midnight and 6 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.The ordinance has been in place since 1994, but a state statute requires the council to review and vote on it every three years.
Fort Worth police argue it helps curb juvenile issues, including gun violence. Just last week, two teens died in a triple shooting on the city’s west side. Police said they have issued 120 citations for curfew violations over the past three years. They carry a fine of $500.During Tuesday's meeting, the city council will hear public comments one last time before voting on whether to extend the curfew for another three years.
