Flood Warning & Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent incidents have exposed critical gaps in flood warning and mass notification capabilities, drawing active legislative scrutiny. Emergency management mandates with upcoming deadlines and a documented $14M funding need compound the urgency for immediate remediation.
The opportunity
Identified funding for flood alert systems and State Operations Center modernization creates a strong near-term window to close preparedness gaps and meet compliance deadlines. Acting within the current 90-day cycle positions the state to reduce public safety risk and align with active legislative and operational mandates.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Active compliance mandates identify a cybersecurity password security requirement, exposing gaps in centralized credential management across state agencies. Without a unified identity security approach, agencies face elevated risk of unauthorized access, audit findings, and non-compliance with statewide cybersecurity standards.
The opportunity
Active contract renewal windows and K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative funding create a near-term opening to address credential security gaps. Cooperative procurement pathways reduce barriers, and alignment with the Texas Cyber Command initiative supports urgency heading into the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
State agency websites face a hard April 26, 2027 compliance deadline under federal accessibility mandates, with active DOJ enforcement exposure for non-conformance. Legislative action through HB 5195 further elevates accountability, making accessibility modernization an operational and legal priority across agencies.
The opportunity
The fixed regulatory deadline establishes a clear procurement window, and HB 5195 provides both legislative mandate and a potential budget anchor for agencies to act now. DIR cooperative contracts offer a streamlined procurement path, and statewide modernization momentum supports funding alignment within the current planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Two fatal incidents involving state patrol vehicles, rising auto insurance premiums, and documented gaps in fleet data visibility have created a high-urgency safety and compliance need. Active fleet compliance obligations and weak oversight infrastructure elevate operational and financial risk to the state.
The opportunity
Federal Bus Program and Low or No Emission Grant Program funding paths are identified, and integration with existing GIS infrastructure supports a strategic, cost-effective implementation. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses active compliance obligations and reduces ongoing liability exposure.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Agencies across the state are actively pursuing cybersecurity enhancements and technology modernization, including GRC tools and endpoint protection, as explicit strategic priorities. The K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative and statewide cybersecurity services expansion signal urgent, funded gaps in current security posture that elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions at the state CIO level and active contract expiration windows create a timely opening for technology evaluation and procurement. Funding paths including the JAG State Formula Program and Urbanized Area Formula Grants are available, and alignment with current fiscal planning supports near-term action.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
Active mandates and approaching deadlines are driving the need to modernize public safety communications infrastructure, including the transition to Next-Generation 9-1-1 and State Operations Center capabilities. Documented gaps in flood warning and mass notification systems have drawn legislative scrutiny, elevating operational and compliance risk for residents and emergency responders.
The opportunity
Dedicated funding has already been identified for both the NG9-1-1 transition and State Operations Center modernization, reducing budget uncertainty and supporting near-term procurement action. Advancing this initiative now aligns with active compliance deadlines, strengthens public safety outcomes, and positions the state to close critical emergency preparedness gaps before the next fiscal cycle.
