The Governor's Criminal Justice Division (CJD) contracts with the 24 regional councils of governments (COG's) to facilitate CJD's grant application process within each region. COG's provide planning and prioritization for local governments within their regions. COG's distribute information to potential grant applicants about CJD's application process and deadlines; facilitate local community planning groups; prioritize submitted applications using fair and competitive processes; notify grant recipients of awards; and provide technical assistance throughout the grant year. The Texas Association of Regional Councils assists COG's in representing local governments.
2. Texas Administrative Code (T.A.C.)
CJD's grantees must comply with the provisions of the Texas Administrative Code (Title I, Part 1, Chapter 3) that are in effect on the date the grant is officially awarded by CJD. Apply the following guidelines to determine which T.A.C. issue applies to your grant:
- Locate your grant's award documentation.
- Find the "Date of Award" as listed on either your signed letter from the Governor or the "Statement of Grant Award".
- Determine the time frame of your grant based on the grant award date.
- Download and save the file from the list below that corresponds to the dates you have identified.
