âText to 9-1-1â service in the entire region, including Fort Hood.
Text to 9-1-1 is a service that allows citizens to send a text message directly to 9-1-1 for assistance, in the event they are unable to make a voice call.
To use the service, simply send a text as you would normally. In the recipient field enter 911, compose the message and push send. Once your text is sent, the 9-1-1 system will send an automated message asking the individual texting for the address of the emergency. This starts the text session between 9-1-1 and the individual needing emergency help.
