TechShare projects are mutual efforts where participants save money by sharing the cost of research and development. Projects can produce applications, systems, or other technology assets owned by the Urban Counties and available to all members.

Juvenile Case Management System (JCMS)
The Juvenile Case Management System project resulted in two software resources that are now available.

JCMS Basic is owned by the State of Texas and replaces Caseworker, Version 5.  JCMS Basic is available through the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD).

TechShare Juvenile is owned by the Urban Counties and in addition to replacing Caseworker/5, offers functions and features designed for managing the juvenile justice process across county departments and local jurisdictions.

Outreach and planning sessions are being conducted across the state by Urban Counties and TJJD.   A status report of JCMS implementation activities is available on this website and will be updated regularly.

JCMS Basic/ TechShare Juvenile Implementation Status

Common Integrated Justice System (CIJS)
The CIJS is a set of functional applications that will enable the effective and efficient administration of justice for the Urban Counties’ membership. It is based on a common architecture that will provide rapid sharing of justice information across county lines while providing each member county with advanced justice management capabilities.

Juvenile Information System (JIS)
JIS provides users with a forum for information sharing and collaboration through a centralized database of juvenile information. The application provides functionality for law enforcement, district attorney, municipal courts, district courts/clerks, school districts, intake, detention, probation, victim services, mediation and other juvenile departments. JIS also provides participants with a complete tool for end-to-end processing of juvenile offenders.

Adult Case Management System (ACMS)
Urban Counties is currently implementing the TechShare Justice - Criminal Courts and Prosecutor Modules Planning Projects, described as the "next generation" of CIJS. A working group composed of representatives from a subset of the counties who participated in the ACMS Phase 1 Planning Project helped develop the proposals for these projects. Participating in the Criminal Courts Planning Project are Bell, Dallas, Tarrant and Travis Counties. The purpose of this project is to establish the detailed specifications, plans and budget for development of a Criminal Courts module (TechShare Justice - Criminal Courts) that will be owned and operated by the Urban Counties on behalf of end users. Participating in the Prosecutor Module Planning Project are Bell, Cameron, Dallas, Tarrant and Travis Counties.  The purpose of this project will be to finalize the detailed specifications, plans and budget for development of a Prosecutor module (TechShare Justice- Prosecutor) that will be owned and operated by the Urban Counties.
