The San Marcos City Council is set to review and receive public feedback on the city’s curfew ordinance for minors.
City councilmembers will hold a hearing on Ordinance 2022-98 during Tuesday’s regular meeting, which would amend Chapter 54, Miscellaneous Offenses, of the San Marcos City Code by readopting Article 3, creating curfew hours for minors; removing sections related to establishments and operators; setting out violations and defenses; and establishing penalties for the violation thereof.
The council first established a curfew for minors through Ordinance 2009-28, adopted on June 2, 2009. State law says the city must hold a public hearing every three years on whether to abolish, continue, or modify the ordinance or let it expire at the end of the three-year term.
