Description

Appellant E.D., a juvenile, appeals from the trial court's order modifying her probation by extending her probation and placing her in secure confinement at the Travis County Leadership Academy. In a single issue, appellant contends that the order is void because it does not satisfy the requirements of family code section 54.04(n) for placing a status offender*fn1 in secure confinement. She contends in the alternative that the trial court abused its discretion in modifying her probation. For the reasons stated below, we affirm the order of the trial court.
