Under LCOR, residency requirements specify that the client must live in which county?

• A. The county where the client currently resides
• B. The county where the offense occurred
• C. The county where the client lived when they committed the offense
• D. Any county in Texas

Answer: (C)

Residency for LCOR is defined by the county where the client lived at the time they committed the offense. This anchors the case to the jurisdiction with the strongest connection to the offense and ensures the right county oversees supervision, records, and services tied to that offense. It reflects where the client had ties to the community and where the offense occurred, providing a stable, jurisdictional basis for accountability and resource allocation. Moving to a different county later doesn’t change the original jurisdiction, which helps keep consistent oversight. Saying the client’s residency is the current residence or the offense’s location would either ignore the offender’s prior ties or misalign responsibilities with the proper local authority, and allowing any county in Texas would ignore jurisdictional boundaries and resources.
