Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces an active federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate with a hard deadline of April 26, 2027, and currently lacks a conformance statement on its public-facing website. Without remediation, the county risks federal non-compliance and unequal digital access for residents, compounded by growing digital document accessibility needs tied to the County Clerk's 2026–2027 Archive Plan.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates clear urgency, and the recently approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes confirmed IT and software allocations to fund remediation now. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, reducing time-to-compliance and protecting the county from federal enforcement risk.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Bowie County's Texas annual cybersecurity certification deadline has already passed, and no compliant password or privileged access management solution has been identified. This unaddressed gap creates active legal, operational, and data security risk for county systems and the residents they serve.
The opportunity
The passed certification deadline demands immediate remediation to restore compliance and reduce liability exposure. The approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes IT and software allocations, and the BJA Edward Byrne JAG Program—with an October 2026 deadline—offers a direct funding path to close this gap within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office currently lacks fleet telematics and in-vehicle camera coverage, creating a documentation and liability gap across its vehicle fleet. Insurance-liability costs have risen 10% for two consecutive years, signaling escalating financial and operational risk to the county.
The opportunity
Active fleet procurement creates an immediate integration window, and the BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne JAG Program offers a viable federal funding path with an October 2026 deadline. Addressing this now reduces liability exposure, strengthens officer accountability, and aligns with the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is undated and potentially non-compliant with current standards, while known infrastructure vulnerabilities compound preparedness gaps. Inconsistent mass notification systems and an unaddressed Hazard Mitigation Plan elevate operational and public safety risk during critical events.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes meaningful IT and software allocations, and cooperative procurement vehicles are in place to streamline acquisition. Acting now closes compliance gaps, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to leverage available public safety grant funding before upcoming deadlines.
Consolidate Mass Notification for Unified Emergency Communications
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates two separate mass notification platforms simultaneously, creating fragmented emergency communications, reduced reliability, and increased administrative burden. This split environment undermines consistent public alerting and conflicts with the county's Hazard Mitigation Plan objectives.
The opportunity
The county's recently approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes meaningful IT and software allocations, and the active Hazard Mitigation Plan strengthens the case for near-term investment. Consolidating now reduces operational risk, improves emergency response outcomes, and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles already in use.
Digital Document Management & Archive Modernization
Records Management · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The County Clerk's 2026–2027 Archive Plan is an active strategic initiative to modernize digital document management and ensure public records are structured and accessible. Without action, the county risks non-compliance with the April 2027 WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility mandate and continued gaps in public-facing records access.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 approved budget includes software allocations that directly support execution of this initiative, reducing reliance on unplanned funding. Acting within the current budget cycle ensures compliance with the approaching accessibility deadline and strengthens equitable public access to government records.
