9-1-1 system rollout faces data and approval hurdles
San Marcos area reports ongoing tests as the state advisory commission reviews the county’s 9-1-1 plan on July 15. Data discrepancies exist in city limits and new addresses require Austin post office approval. SMTC notes 31,000 local customers, with about 21,000 in their area, and emphasizes toll-free 9-1-1 dialing once phases launch. Manny Fernandez of CAPCO stresses ongoing maintenance of the database and county readiness to provide emergency services. Community notices mention art class enrollment with limited openings and registration details.
