Texoma prepares for statewide upgrades to 9-1-1 services Herald Democrat Texoma cities, counties and other community partners are taking the final steps toward preparing for upcoming statewide 9-1-1 updates this fall. Representatives with the Texoma Council of Governments and partner cities said the region should be ready later this year for changes aimed at modernizing and standardizing emergency response across Texas. Last week, the city of Denison approved a budget amendment related to the purchase of new communications equipment and software for police and fire dispatch. This marks the final regional partner to make the upgrades ahead of changes to next-generation 9-1-1 technology.
