The Town of Lecompte has announced the launch of TextMyGov, a convenient and smart text messaging service. This service will enable residents to effortlessly receive important notifications and easily find specific information by texting the city.

The town will officially launch the new text messaging system to the public on Oct. 3. Residents may receive a text message from 91896 from the town initiating the service. They can choose to opt-out at any time by texting STOP.

If a resident doesn’t receive the initial message, they can choose to opt-in by texting the keyword “LECOMPTE” to the number 91896. After sending the initial keyword, the resident will be asked to reply “YES” to confirm opt-in. Residents may receive notifications for events, meetings, office closures, water leaks, etc.

Also, starting soon, residents will be able to receive on-demand information 24/7 by texting 1-2 keywords to the town’s TextMyGov number, 318-712-3331. They’ll be able to report about animal control, trash, potholes, and ask about other town information.

The town’s use of this technology is another example of how the community enhances resident services by implementing 21st-century solutions. The town is excited about this new way of communicating with residents and look forward to hearing residents’ concerns directly. Other municipalities across the country are utilizing this system with great success. Stay connected with TextMyGov.
