The DRC

What is mediation?

The Fort Bend County Dispute Resolution Center is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to providing high-quality, low cost dispute resolution services for all people in Fort Bend County and the surrounding counties.  We are not part of the Fort Bend County government or court system.

Mediation is a confidential process in which an impartial person, a mediator, encourages and facilitates communication between parties who are involved in a conflict and strives to promote an agreement or understanding between the parties.  The primary responsibility for a resolution of the mediated conflict rests with the parties.
