Nortex Regional Planning Commission

What Nortex Regional Planning Commission does

Nortex Regional Planning Commission (NRPC) is a quasi-governmental voluntary association of local governments headquartered in Wichita Falls, Texas. It serves as the regional coordinating body for 11 member counties across 9,461 square miles in North Texas, with a service-area population of approximately 224,336 residents. NRPC operates seven core program lines: 9-1-1 Emergency Communications, Criminal Justice Services, Community & Economic Development (including Solid Waste), Area Agency on Aging (AAANT), Homeland Security, Housing and HIV Services, and Transportation Planning. The organization is governed by an Executive Committee of local elected officials and is staffed by approximately 26 personnel across programs and administration.

The technology stack centers on PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) infrastructure: NRPC maintains GIS databases that link telephone numbers to location information for 9-1-1 telecommunicators, has implemented Phase I (tower-based) and Phase II (precise caller location) wireless 9-1-1 across the region, supports Text-to-911, TDD/TTY for hearing- and speech-impaired callers, and integrates third-party language interpretation for non-English callers. The Area Agency on Aging operates as part of a national network of 670 AAAs (28 in Texas) delivering benefits counseling, care coordination, caregiver support, long-term care ombudsman, and senior nutrition programs. Criminal Justice Services administers pass-through grants and regional law enforcement training on behalf of the Governor's Office Criminal Justice Division.

NRPC's revenue model is government funding rather than commercial pricing. The organization is funded through member local government contributions, state appropriations (notably the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Governor's Office Criminal Justice Division), and federal grants (HHS, OJJDP for JJDP funding, plus VOCA and VAWA pass-throughs). Services are delivered through direct government-to-government coordination and in-person service delivery; NRPC operates with minimal commercial marketing activity, relying instead on public meetings, transparency reports, and its website (nortexrpc.org) as communication channels. No commercial pricing is published, and revenue/financials are not publicly disclosed.
