Consensus not met on juvenile curfew ordinance

The San Marcos City Council failed to reach a consensus on whether to renew its juvenile curfew ordinance.

Council's vote ended in a 3-3 stalemate on Tuesday, following a public hearing on the ordinance during its regular meeting.

There are two main goals associated with the juvenile curfew ordinance: reducing truancy and reducing violent crime, according to San Marcos  Chief of Police Stan Standridge.
