Wrapping up on May 29th, the 88th Texas Legislative session stands as a milestone, introducing legislative progress regarding school safety and security since the 86th session back in 2019. In response to a significant school tragedy in our State and incidents in other states, the Governor and other key State leaders dedicated considerable focus to enhancing school safety and security in the 88th Texas Legislative session.

This summary serves as a valuable reference guide to the comprehensive collection of bills and rule sections related to school safety and security. The goal of this summary is to assist school officials in understanding the vital information they need.

CRUX is here to help. Let our risk management and security professionals think through your options and develop a strategy that's right for you.

Questions

Find answers to common concerns about implementing technology solutions.

When should we start?

The best time to engage a design partner is before you've locked in vendors or made commitments. Early involvement prevents costly rework and ensures your systems actually talk to each other from day one.

How do we avoid vendor lock-in?

Independent design means we specify based on your needs, not commission structures. You maintain flexibility to choose best-in-class solutions for each discipline without being trapped by a single vendor's ecosystem.

What if we're mid-project?

We've salvaged plenty of projects that went sideways. Bringing us in now can still prevent the worst outcomes and establish a clearer path forward with your existing systems and team.

How much does this really cost?

Good design costs less than bad design. The real expense is change orders, rework, and years of firefighting. We help you spend smarter upfront so you're not hemorrhaging money later.

Can you work with our existing team?

Absolutely. We're guides, not gatekeepers. We collaborate with your architects, contractors, and IT staff to make sure everyone's pulling in the same direction.
