The DRC-MC is a non-profit, volunteer organization which provides mediation and conflict resolution training to residents, businesses, agencies and the courts. There is a paid staff of 3 and over 50 volunteers, each of whom has had a minimum of 64 classroom hours of training plus six supervised co-mediations prior to handling DRC cases.
The DRC-MC was started by a committee of the Montgomery County Bar Association in conjunction with commissioner’s court in 1988 and mediated its first case in 1989. It is funded partly by fees imposed on filing certain civil suits in district and County Courts at Law, partly by user fees, partly by contributions and grants, and partly by contractually defined in-kind services provided by the county.

The DRC-MC’s main office is located in the red brick building across the street from the Montgomery County courthouse. Mediations are held there, as well.

Third Graders Receive Dictionaries from NSRW - 2018 project 

North Shore Republican Women's literacy chairman, Jacque Lookabaugh, spent a few days in March delivering dictionaries to every third grade class in Willis Independent School District! Media Chairman Ann Kate tagged along for a while to take photos. Thanks to our successful golf tournament fundraiser in October, we only need a few contributions from our members through The Dictionary Project, and we were able to give all third graders their very own dictionary to take home and use. Thank you to Jamie Fails, Willis ISD director of communications, for helping organize the distribution and aiding Jacque in some schools. NSRW loves children, and we think The Dictionary Project is a great way to help them learn.
