upon approval by the Texas Department of MHMR, we opened on September 1, 1983. Tri-County
began its first year of operation with an executive director, a program director,
an administrative assistant, and eleven staff who had been transferred from Rusk
State Hospital.

Today, Tri-County has grown to a more than $19 million system serving over 5,000
people each year with more than 230 employees. Tri-County now offers a vast and

Courts of Erath, Hood, Palo Pinto, Parker and Somervell Counties as a Community
MHMR Center in accordance with House Bill 3. In June 2006 Johnson County joined
