A curfew is now in effect for Hum¬
ble youths 17 and younger.
Humble City Council members
approved the curfew at their Aug. 25
meeting after holding a public
hearing.
Humble resident Arliss Bentley
was present during the hearing and
asked why the curfew started for
residents at 17 years old and why it
couldn’t be for residents 18 and
younger.
According to Humble City Secre¬
tary and Assistant City Manager Ja¬
son Stuebe, "it is defined by state
government code which sets the
parameters for the curfew for resi¬
dents starting at 17 years old and
younger."
The curfew states that anyone 17
years old and younger may not be
out between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. on
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, or Thursday; between
the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 6 a.m.
on any Saturday or Sunday, and be¬
tween the hours of 9 a.m. and 2:30
p.m. for school-aged children on
school days.
The curfew ordinance states, "it is
unlawful for anyone 17 years old
and younger to be in a public place
or on the premises of any establish¬
ment within the city during curfew
hours; providing it unlawful for any
