Who may request a directive to apprehend a child under Sec. 52.015?

• A. A school administrator.
• B. A law-enforcement officer or a probation officer.
• C. A parent.
• D. The district attorney.

Answer: (B)

A directive to apprehend a child under Sec. 52.015 can be requested by a law-enforcement officer or a probation officer. These officials are responsible for locating, detaining, and bringing a juvenile before the court when needed for supervision or pending proceedings. They are the ones given authority to initiate this specific process so the child can be promptly placed back under judicial oversight. School administrators, parents, and district attorneys do not have the authority to request this directive under this statute, though they may pursue other actions within the juvenile or criminal process.
