The CR3 ‘Peace Officer Report’

A Texas accident or crash report is officially titled as the ‘CR3 Peace Officer Report’. It is used by law enforcement to record the details relating to an accident involving any type of vehicle. The details in the Peace Officer report are recorded by the officer who attended the scene of the accident. If a police officer did not attend your accident you have the option to file your own report and the state provide you with a form titled ‘CR2 Driver’s Crash Report’.

The report can be pretty complicated due to the fact that there are often 1000’s of circumstances and facts that are recorded about the accident details, drivers, occupants, and vehicles involved. If you are looking for a very detailed explanation of the information, codes, and terminology used in the CR3, the documents linked below provide a comprehensive guide for you.

TxDOT and CRIS Data System

The police officer files the CR3 report using a TxDOT system called: “CRIS” which stands for “Crash Reporting Information System”. Texas is one of the most advanced states in how it handles its accident reports and the technology it uses to make reports available for its citizens online. One of the key barriers other states face in recording facts about The CRIS system are the hundreds (often thousands) of Police agencies operating the state and the different technology they use. To give you some idea there are over a thousand police agencies operating in Texas all capable of attending an accident and recording information in the CR3 form. (If you ever wondered exactly how many - we made an easy way to look them all up here)

Luckily, Texas took steps over 5 years ago to centralize its technology, and now nearly all police agencies operating in Texas use the CRIS system. What does this mean to you? Well, it means you can easily find your crash report online and it saves you waiting for the mail or a trip to the Police agency office.
