Texas Emergency Communications Center TECC

After struck Harris County and its surrounding areas on the morning of Monday, July 8th, North Comm experienced an unprecedented surge in call volume. The 911 dispatchers worked tirelessly to ensure that every call was answered, providing crucial assistance during a time of great need.

We are saddened by the tragic loss of the Harris County Sheriff's Deputy who was killed in the line of duty last night.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the entire HCSO family.

We mourn the loss of Harris County Sheriff's Office Deputy Fernando Esqueda (28), who tragically passed away after being shot while protecting our community.

Deputy Esqueda was a five-year Harris County Sheriff’s Office veteran and served our community in the HCSO Violent Person Task Force. He was dedicated to protecting and serving the residents of Harris County.

We pray with Deputy Esqueda's family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. Deputy commitment to duty and his sacrifice will always be remembered.

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate NTW with us this week!

This week we celebrate our 911 dispatchers. In 1994, President Clinton signed a proclamation that declared the second week of April as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Here at TECC we are extremely fortunate to have telecommunications specialists that are the epitome of what it means to be the FIRST, first responder. They are highly trained 911 professionals, and well-prepared to handle any emergency. It is a challenging job to say the least, and we are extremely grateful to each and every one of them.

Please join us in reminding them just how valued and appreciated they are!

Happy 55th anniversary, 911!

May 2023 bring each of you love, laughter, joy, health, happiness, and prosperity.

Happy New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving from our dispatch family to yours. May your Thanksgiving be filled with an abundance of peace, love, and happiness!
