Council approves purchase of Brazos e‑citation system for municipal court integration
Summary
The Odessa Police Department received council approval to purchase the Brazos e‑citation product (Tyler Technologies) with a one‑time start cost of $95,006.89 and annual recurring costs slightly over $89,000; staff said the product integrates with municipal court systems and was budgeted.
The Odessa City Council on April 22 approved the purchase of the Brazos e‑citation product (Tyler Technologies) for the Odessa Police Department.
Police staff said the vendor’s product is designed to integrate with the municipal court system and that the department moved away from its prior solution because it did not meet expectations. The initial startup cost reported to the council was $95,006.89, with recurring annual costs of a little over $89,000 per year; staff said the purchase is budgeted.
Council members asked whether other products had been tested; the chief said three products were tested and the selected vendor offered the best value. The council approved the purchase unanimously.
Ending: The department will finalize procurement and begin implementing the e‑citation software in coordination with the municipal court.
