TEXAS VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday):
Collin County is a participant in the TEXAS VINE program. TEXAS VINE provides a crime victim with easy-to-obtain basic information and notifications on jailed suspects/offenders in county jails and their scheduled court events. This is a free service available to the public and designed specifically to better serve crime victims. TEXAS VINE is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in both Spanish and English.
Criminal District Attorney Greg Willis encourages victims to make TEXAS VINE part of their safety plan. Offenders will never know whether victims are registered with TEXAS VINE. However, victims should not depend solely on TEXAS VINE for their protection. If a victim feels threatened by an offender, they should take precautions as if the inmate were already released. If any victims or witness receives any threat, they should immediately contact the arresting agency to report the matter.
For more information about the VINE program, please call (877) 894-8463. You can also visit the VINE website at www.vinelink.com.
If an offender has been sentenced to time in the Texas Department of Corrections you can find information about their incarceration and request notifications through the Integrated Victim Services System (IVSS) For more information on IVSS visit the website through this link https://ivss.tdcj.texas.gov/
