Dallas, November 14, 2008 -- Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has signed a contract with San Patricio County, Texas, to provide Tyler's Web-based courts & justice solution.
San Patricio County belongs to the Texas Conference of Urban Counties (CUC), a non-profit organization consisting of 35 counties across the state, and accounting for approximately 80 percent of the state's population. As a CUC member, the County will adopt Tyler's Odyssey Case Manager software under the software license agreement signed in 2006 between Tyler and the CUC. Under this latest contract, which is valued at $1.9 million, Tyler will provide implementation and related professional services for San Patricio County.
San Patricio County will implement several Tyler applications, including Case Manager, Law Enforcement, Jail Manager and Prosecutor. Case Manager will be used in county, district and justice of the peace courts.
According to Raul A. Delgado, Jr., information services manager for San Patricio County, integration is one of the key benefits the County will gain from implementing Tyler's court solution. "Currently, court and law enforcement offices throughout San Patricio County are not integrated. We want to bring the County into the 21st century by implementing a single, fully-integrated system. Tyler's solution will enable us to achieve this goal," he explained.
Additionally, Delgado cited Tyler's strong presence across Texas and San Patricio County's experience with another Tyler solution—Orion Appraisal & Collections—as having factored into the County's decision to make this latest investment.
Bruce Graham, president of Tyler's Courts & Justice Solutions, commented on the recent contract. "The implementation of our courts & justice solution in San Patricio County is significant in that it demonstrates the product's ability to scale from the largest counties in the state to mid-size counties and to be cost effective at both ends. Through its implementation of Tyler's system, San Patricio County will integrate information across offices, benefiting citizens and other constituents. We welcome San Patricio as the latest county in Texas to invest in Tyler's court solution and look forward to a successful partnership," he stated.
San Patricio County is home to approximately 70,000 residents, making it the 49th most populous county of Texas's 254 counties. The county is part of the Corpus Christi metropolitan area on the Texas Gulf coast, with Sinton as the county seat. San Patricio County covers a land area of 692 square miles and offers a variety of recreational activities.
