Court authorizes interlocal with DPS for electronic conviction reporting and sets 2027 holiday schedule
Summary
Commissioners approved an interlocal cooperation contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety to use the TXCR conviction-reporting system and adopted the county's official holiday schedule for 2027.
The court approved an Interlocal Cooperation Contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety to permit Colorado County court personnel to use the Texas Conviction Reporting (TXCR) application.
The contract (using the state OGC template) states DPS will provide TXCR at no cost and will ensure the site meets CJIS security requirements; TXCR will validate conviction data and reject bad submissions. The court's responsibilities include limiting initial authorized users (two court personnel unless DPS authorizes more), requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) and ensuring submissions within seven days per Tex. Transp. Code Chapter 543. The motion to approve was made by Judge Prause, seconded by Commissioner Neuendorff, and carried 5-0.
The court also set the official Colorado County 2027 holiday schedule (New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day observed, Labor Day, Fair Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas observances). The motion to adopt the holiday list passed 5-0.
Why it matters: the interlocal will change how conviction dispositions are transmitted to DPS; the contract requires technical and security steps by county staff. The holiday schedule defines county office closures for 2027.
