Cybersecurity Training & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Texas law mandates cybersecurity training for county staff by August 2026, with felony-level penalties for non-compliance. A concurrent, funded identity and access management modernization initiative creates an immediate need to strengthen credential and password security across county systems.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline and an active federal grant program supporting cybersecurity and technology improvements—with awards up to $4.9M—create a clear, time-sensitive funding and action window. Advancing this project now reduces legal exposure, protects public data, and aligns with the county's current FY budget and IT leadership priorities.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The county is transitioning away from a sunsetted public works platform by December 2026, creating an immediate need for IT management tooling to support migration continuity and ongoing operations. With annual IT and software spend exceeding $1.5 million, the environment is active but requires structured endpoint oversight to reduce operational risk during and after the transition.
The opportunity
The December 2026 software sunset and the FY 2026–2027 budget adoption in August 2026 define a clear procurement window. Federal justice assistance grant funding explicitly supports information systems and technology improvements, offering a viable funding path aligned with this project's scope and timeline.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has a countywide initiative underway to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance ahead of the April 2027 ADA enforcement deadline. The program is leadership-prioritized but currently unfunded, creating legal exposure and risk of inequitable resident access to digital services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline establishes a clear planning horizon, making FY 2026–2027 budget allocation a critical near-term action. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement once funding is secured, reducing both timeline and compliance risk.

Discuss this project →Emergency Management & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an expiring Hazard Mitigation Plan (mid-2026), unresolved mass notification contract status, and a NIMS compliance mandate tied to federal grant eligibility. A concurrent leadership transition in the Emergency Management department heightens operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
The Hazard Mitigation Plan deadline and NIMS compliance requirements create immediate urgency, while approximately $455K in dedicated emergency management and public safety tech budget confirms funding availability. Acting within the current fiscal cycle protects federal grant eligibility and ensures uninterrupted public alerting and response operations.
Fleet Telematics and Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office has experienced severe fleet-involved incidents, including a fatality in 2022 and a pursuit crash in 2018, with identified gaps in integrated dash cameras, GPS/telematics, and driver monitoring. Active fleet replacement and in-vehicle camera deployment are underway, but evidence quality and safety oversight capabilities remain incomplete.
The opportunity
The funded fleet replacement and camera deployment cycle, combined with the FY 2026–2027 budget adoption window and an available rural law enforcement grant, create a timely procurement pathway. Addressing telematics and driver monitoring now reduces liability exposure and strengthens officer and public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →SAVNS Agreement Renewal & Public Safety Communications
Public Safety · Communications Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county's SAVNS agreement expires in August 2026, triggering an immediate renewal or replacement decision for victim notification communications. This deadline coincides with FY 2026–2027 budget adoption, compressing the procurement window and elevating operational risk if action is delayed.
The opportunity
The convergence of the August 2026 agreement expiration and the budget adoption cycle creates a well-defined, time-sensitive procurement window. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline the process, and public safety technology investments may align with current federal justice assistance funding opportunities.
