CCP Art. 63.021 System for Flagging Records: On receipt of notification by a law enforcement agency or the clearinghouse regarding a missing child under _____, the school, day care facility, or birth certificate agency shall maintain the child's records so that on receipt of a request regarding the child, the school, day care facility, or agency will be able to notify law enforcement or the clearinghouse that a request for a flagged record has been made

• A. 10 years of age
• B. 12 years of age
• C. 11 years of age
• D. 9 years of age

Answer: (C)

The test focuses on a flagging system that activates when a child is considered missing at a specific young age. The statute requires schools, day cares, and birth certificate agencies to preserve and organize records so that, if a request for a missing child’s records comes in, they can quickly notify law enforcement or the Missing Persons Clearinghouse that the request concerns a flagged record. The key threshold is that the child is under 11 years old. That boundary explains why 11 years of age is the correct reference: it marks the point at which the missing-child flag applies. If the child is 11 or older, the particular flagging obligation under this provision does not apply.
