OPINION
YEGAN, J.
After a successful petition filed by the district attorney under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, subdivision (a), the trial court found Eric V., appellant, to be a juvenile ward of the court. We affirm.
*1469 (1a) Eric's sole contention on appeal is that the juvenile court lacked authority to commit him to the California Youth Authority (CYA).
CYA is a creature of statute (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 1772 et seq.) which provides in pertinent part as follows:
"The procedures under this article shall be the exclusive method for the commitment of any person under this article to the Department for placement in a state institution and for discharge from the jurisdiction of the court.
"In the discretion of the court, any person between the ages of 18 and 21 may be committed to the department for placement in an appropriate state institution and for discharge from the jurisdiction of the court.
"A commitment of a person under this article may be made either to a state institution or to a county institution.
"Any person committed to a state institution under the jurisdiction of the department shall be discharged upon the expiration of the maximum term of confinement fixed by law, unless the person is continued for the maximum term at the discretion of the state director, provided that any person may not be placed in such institution for more than a period of six months unless the person has been previously adjudged a ward of the court pursuant to Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code be359ba680
