Texas Juvenile Justice Department
The Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) may use appropriated funds to provide medical attention by medical staff and infirmaries at TYC facilities for an employee injured while performing the duties of a hazardous position, if the cost of treating the injury is not reimbursed by workers’ compensation or the state group insurance program.
