Harris County is weighing a contract with Accenture LLP to upgrade the juvenile probation casework system used to manage cases for youth ages 10–17.
Harris County Commissioners Court is considering a one-year contract with Accenture LLP to improve JIMS2, the software system juvenile probation staff use to track cases involving youth ages 10–17. The work covers analysis, planning, and upgrades to support intake, supervision, detention, and court reporting. The Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is the largest in Texas, serving more than 6,600 youth each year. The contract runs July 9, 2026 – July 8, 2027, with two optional renewals and a 13.30% MWBE goal.
The county's juvenile case-tracking software affects how staff manage cases for youth ages 10–17 in the justice system. Residents may care because this system supports intake, supervision, detention, and court reporting for over 6,600 youth yearly.
