Passage of HB 911 in 1987 requested Texas' regional
planning councils (COGs) to undertake 9-1-1 planning and implementation activities in
behalf of their local governments. After two years of planning, coordinating system
design, and general preparation, implementation of Enhanced 9-1-1 was completed in January
1992. In total, thirteen countywide and five municipal systems were turned on during the
period June 1991 through January 1992. These systems include:
 |
Collin County (excluding Cities of Plano & Wylie) |
