Our Mission
The Public Information Office’s main focus is to help the general public and media with access to open records and information on how
our departments work and support the
37 elected officials within the county government framework.
Here’s a brief list of our functions:
-
Oversee open records requests of county departments: Collin County maintains a vast storehouse of public records, most of which can be searched and found through our
online services. For those records that aren’t online, visit our
open records request page.
- Plan and implement public information programs countywide;
- Plan, design, write and edit
news releases, newsletters, informational articles, pamphlets and brochures;
- Coordinate and conduct press conferences, public meetings and special events; and,
- Coordinate tours of county government facilities.
Here are some other frequently sought county links and contact information for items that may not require a formal, open records request:
-
Public Notices: Public meetings, hearings, minutes, general announcements.
-
County Checkbook: The
first county check register made available online in the country, with information back to 2007.
For the Media: We are the main point of contact for information and interview requests for the
County Commissioners Court and the county departments that fall directly under their supervision. If you would like to receive our News Releases,
contact us. You can also follow us on
Facebook and
Twitter.
