History
After the passage of House Bill 911 in 1987, the regional planning councils of Texas began to undertake the planning and implementation of 9-1-1 services on behalf of their local governments. Between June 1991 and January 1992, the planning, coordination of the system design, and general preparations for Enhanced 9-1-1 in our region was completed. The 30th anniversary of NCT9-1-1 occurred in 2021.
On December 3, 2018, NCTCOG 9-1-1 became the North Central Texas Emergency Communications District.
