By combining the resources of local governments, the Deep East Texas Council of Governments (DETCOG) provides a window of opportunity for helping citizens improve their quality of life.
DETCOG has successfully worked for better intergovernmental cooperation, more efficient services, fiscal accountability, quick response to public needs, and serious economic development involvement.
We have increased interaction with state and federal government agencies; enhanced communication with the public, the press and members; and made a conscious effort to become more accessible to the citizens of Deep East Texas. As the new decade unfolds, DETCOG remains pledged to hard work, true collaboration, solid accountability, and a spirit of regionalism in all areas of endeavor.
Meeting Date:
The Executive Committee meets upon call by the President, except when the full Governing Body meets on the fourth Thursday of each month.
