Extended Application Deadline: August 15, 2025
ALLEN, TX – TechShare Local Government Corporation, a nonprofit collaborative serving local governments across Texas and beyond, today announced an extended timeline for its Request for Information (RFI) seeking input for expanding its sales and implementation efforts in support of its expanding portfolio of criminal justice technology solutions.
Since its establishment as an independent local government corporation in 2019, TechShare has experienced unprecedented growth in demand for its comprehensive suite of applications spanning the entire criminal justice ecosystem. The organization’s solutions currently serve law enforcement, magistrates, defense attorneys, pre-trial service coordinators, mental health and public safety providers, prosecutors, judges, county and district clerks, juvenile probation officers, and jailers.
“We’re witnessing a fundamental shift in how local governments approach technology procurement,” said Rebecca Lewis, Executive Director of TechShare Local Government Corporation. “Counties are no longer satisfied with one-size-fits-all solutions from commercial vendors. They want technology that’s built by practitioners, for practitioners – solutions that understand the unique challenges of U.S. counties and can be customized to meet their specific operational needs.”
The RFI reflects TechShare’s commitment to understanding how to expand its reach while maintaining the collaborative, county-driven approach that has defined the organization since 2004. Under Lewis’s leadership, TechShare has evolved from its origins as a program into a forward-thinking corporation focused on sustainable growth and expanded service delivery.
Meeting Rising Demand with Strategic Partnerships
TechShare’s comprehensive platform includes specialized applications for:
- Agenda Management
- Court Management
- Bond Desk
- Indigent Defense
- Jail Management
- Juvenile Case Management
- Magistration
- Prosecutor Case Management
- Defense Portal
- Law Enforcement Portal
- Public Safety Assessment
- Mental Health Alert
- Warrant Portal
To date, 76 counties have or are in the process of implementing TechShare systems, demonstrating the growing appetite for its unique, collaborative approach to technology development.
“Unlike traditional vendors who develop in isolation, our solutions are continuously refined based on real-world feedback from the counties that use them daily,” Lewis explained. “This creates a virtuous cycle where each implementation makes our platform stronger for everyone.”
Charting the Future of Government Technology
The response to this RFI will play a crucial role in TechShare’s next chapter, providing a roadmap for how to move forward with identifying partners to support new market expansion opportunities. Ultimately, the organization desires to collaborate with partners who share its commitment to public service and understand the unique procurement processes and operational requirements of local government.
TechShare’s model addresses a critical gap in the government technology market by offering enterprise-grade solutions at a fraction of traditional licensing costs, while ensuring counties retain control over their technology roadmap through collaborative governance.
“We’re not just looking for vendors – we’re seeking guidance from qualified partners who understand that serving local government isn’t just about closing deals, it’s about strengthening the communities these counties serve,” Lewis noted. “Depending on our findings, we hope to eventually work with partners who will help us scale our impact while preserving the collaborative spirit that makes TechShare so unique.”
Application Details
Qualified sales and technology implementation partners are encouraged to respond to RFI No. 2025-01. The deadline for submissions has been extended to August 15, 2025 to accommodate increased interest from potential partners.
