The Governmental Collectors Association of Texas
|
  |
The Governmental Collectors Association of Texas was formed October 28, 1999
and incorporated March 31, 2000. Members consist of professionals from across the state of Texas responsible for the collection of funds for the governmental
entities in which they are employed. In early 1993 Dallas County took a serious
look at how fines and court cost were being collected at the county court level.
They implemented a collections program that proved so successful other
counties soon followed suit. The Texas Office of Court Administration became
involved in working with the Texas judicial system in implementing programs
designed to enhance court collections. At a collections workshop hosted by the
Texas Office of Court Administration in early 1998, and attended by many
managers of existing collection programs from around the state, a suggestion was
made to form a network to share information and ideas. From this suggestion a
free flow of information ranging from educational material to technology tools
emerged. The advantage of sharing experiences and information was logical and
productive. The inevitable next step was organization. |
"We are an association devoted to sharing education, strategies, techniques, and tools for judicial collections. "
(Judicial Collections
