How to Request a Texas Crash Report
Your official crash report is one of the most useful pieces of evidence for an injury claim — here's how Texas makes it available.
Where Reports Are Stored
The Texas Department of Transportation's CRIS system is the central repository for most law-enforcement crash reports statewide.
What You'll Need
You'll typically need basic details like the crash date, location, and the parties involved to locate your report.
If Police Didn't Respond
You can file your own driver's crash report if law enforcement didn't investigate the scene.
