About 120 people on sex-offender probation report to Taylor County center on Halloween
Taylor County's Lights Out program keeps people on probation from Taylor, Callahan and Coleman counties under supervision during trick-or-treat hours.
CountyEach Halloween, registered sex offenders on probation in Taylor, Callahan and Coleman counties must report to the Taylor County Law Enforcement Center from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. under the county's Lights Out program.
A treatment provider with Taylor County Adult Probation told the station the three hours are spent on supervision, drug testing and treatment work, and that participants are told to go straight home afterward because their curfews start soon after.
As of Oct. 27, about 120 people on probation were registered to attend this year, including four women, who meet in a separate room. Parents can look up registered offenders near them in the Texas Department of Public Safety's public sex offender registry.
