Security & Technology Funds

Two special funds exist to support Texas courts at the local level: the Municipal Court Building Security Fund (Article 102.017, C.C.P.) and the Municipal Court Technology Fund (Article 102.0172, C.C.P.). These funds help municipalities and counties cover the costs of security and technology for court facilities. The security funds may be used for personnel, equipment, and services that enhance courthouse safety, while the technology fund supports technological upgrades like computer systems and electronic ticket writers for municipal courts. For current statute text and more details, you can refer to the Texas Legislature’s website.
