I've only lived in Texas for a couple of years and this really threw me.
In fact, I had previously looked in the phone book for a non-emergency number and could not find one.
Where I previously lived, if you called 911 for any thing other than a true emergency you were read the riot act for tying up emergency lines with non-emergency calls.
In fact, the 911 and non-emergency lines were on the same system and answered by the same operators. They just wanted to keep them separate.
I have called 911 twice for very minor, decidely non-emergency situations. It seems weird, but that's what Dallas wants.
It is good idea to call 911. By the time they arrive on the scene, if you justifiably deployed deadly force, they will have heads up on what is going on.
