The DeWitt County Office of Emergency Management and Floodplain Administration has shared a regional notice regarding temporary disruptions to Textto- 9-1-1 services, scheduled to occur throughout the month of July 2025. The notice was issued in coordination with the Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission, which is overseeing a major upgrade to the area’s emergency communications infrastructure.
As part of this system- wide enhancement, several counties—including DeWitt, Victoria, Jackson, Goliad, Gonzales, and Lavaca— may experience intermittent outages in the ability to send text messages to 9-1-1 during their designated upgrade periods.
While Text-to-9-1-1 may be temporarily unavailable, officials stress that voice calls to 9-1-1 will remain fully operational, and residents should not hesitate to call in the event of an emergency.
