Public services

One picture of justice, set tile by tile.

Every office in the county now works on one shared record. Here's what each part of Mosaic does, who uses it, and why it's named for a piece of a mosaic.

A mosaic is one picture made from many pieces. So is justice in a county.

The jail, pre-trial services, the prosecutor, the courts and probation each do their own work. Mosaic gives every office its own workspace and connects them all to a single record of each person and case.

Each part of Mosaic is named for a step in making a real mosaic, chosen because it mirrors the work that part does. Learn the names once and you'll know where everything lives.

How it fits together

Watch the picture come together

A mosaicist builds in layers. Each part of Mosaic adds one layer, and the picture beside the text grows as you scroll.

Sinopiasketches the plan

One record

A case moves. The record moves with it.

As a case passes from office to office, the person's record goes with it. Names, charges, dates and orders are entered once and appear wherever the next office needs them.

BookedMalta

Arrest and charges come in once, at booking.

AssessedSinopia

The release report starts from the booking.

ChargedTessera

Filing charges opens the court case directly.

DecidedEmblema

Orders reach the jail, the prosecutor and probation.

SupervisedAndamento

A violation report goes straight back to the court.

Nobody types it in again. Everyone sees the same picture.

The platform

Every office has its own tools. They all stand on one foundation.

Most counties run a different system in every office, then spend their days copying between them. Mosaic gives each office a workspace built for its job, and keeps what they share in one core underneath: the person, the case, the charges, the evidence, the hearings. Pick a shared feature to see which offices it connects.

The front door

Mosaic Access Portal

One public front door, kept apart from the staff system. Each visitor sees only what their role allows.

Shared core

Entered once. Used everywhere.

Underneath

Nucleus

Connects Mosaic to the state and partner agencies, so outside information arrives already matched to the right person.

Every office gets its own workspace. Nobody keeps their own copy of the facts.

What it means for you

Less re-keying, more of the picture

Enter it once

Information entered in one office shows up in the next. You stop re-typing what someone else already recorded.

See the whole case

Current custody, release, charging, court and supervision details are in one place, so decisions rest on the full story.

Spend less time on busywork

Fewer systems to log into and fewer copies to reconcile. The time goes back to the work only you can do.

Trust the trail

Every change is recorded with who made it and when. You can answer "how did this get here" with confidence.

Coming next

Two more pieces, and the road ahead

These parts of Mosaic are designed and not yet available. They follow the same idea: each has a clear job, and a name that fits it.

Public defense · Planned

Pelta

What it will do: give the public defender's office its own walled workspace: appointments and conflict checks, discovery, investigation, experts, jail visits and caseloads, on the same record as the court.

Why the name: the pelta was the crescent shield of ancient Greek soldiers, and rows of interlocking pelta shields are a classic Roman mosaic pattern. A shield for the accused, set into the floor.

Public access · Planned

Mosaic Access Portal

What it will do: one front door for everyone outside the county's staff: the public, attorneys, law enforcement, treatment providers, people on supervision and jurors. Each sees only what their role allows.

Why it's separate: the public side runs apart from the staff system, so the most exposed part of Mosaic can never reach staff pages.

The Texas criminal workflow

Mosaic follows the Texas criminal case map step by step: bail and release per charge, add-on charges, statutory clocks, and sentences handed to probation, jail and prison.

Texas · Next

Live state connections

eFileTexas, Re:SearchTX, OCA reporting and DPS criminal history move from stand-ins to live links.

Texas · Last step

Juvenile

Juvenile court, probation and detention follow the adult system, with juvenile records kept out of every public view.

Beyond Texas

Any state, by choice

The state becomes a choice when a county is set up. Tennessee is planned as the second state.

Nothing real touches Mosaic until security, hosting and penetration-test gates are cleared.
