No. 04-11-00116-CV IN THE MATTER OF A.M.C., A Juvenile From the 289th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010-JUV-02592 Honorable Carmen Kelsey, Judge Presiding Opinion by: Sitting: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Delivered and Filed: December 7, 2011 AFFIRMED A.M.C., a juvenile, appeals a disposition order committing him to the Texas Youth Commission (TYC) for an indeterminate period. In a single issue, A.M.C. contends the juvenile court abused its discretion in committing him to TYC because the evidence does not support a finding that reasonable efforts were made to prevent or eliminate the need for his removal from the home. We affirm the court's order of disposition. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Sixteen-year-old A.M.C. was detained and charged with deadly conduct stemming from an October 3, 2010 incident in which A.M.C., a passenger in a vehicle, fired a gunshot at another vehicle when leaving a party. The State filed a petition alleging A.M.C. engaged in delinquent
