This report must be submitted within ten days following the crash​​​​​​​​​​.

Who Can Obtain a Copy of a Report in Texas?

Under Texas Transportation Code §550.065, the release of a crash report is limited to individuals "directly concerned in the accident or having a proper interest therein." This includes involved parties, their attorneys, and insurance companies.

Their non-emergency number is 936.258.7621, and they operate Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM​​​​.

In Texas, car accident reports are considered confidential. The unredacted version of these reports is not a public record and is only released to certain individuals, such as those involved in the accident, their legal representatives, and insurance companies. Others may only request a redacted copy​​​​​​.

Why Do You Need Your Texas Crash Report?

Acquiring a crash report is crucial for several reasons. It is vital when filing claims with insurance companies or in court. The report provides a comprehensive account of the accident, including a narrative of the incident, descriptions of injuries, details of vehicle damages, and information about all parties involved. This information is essential for insurance adjusters to decide on compensation, and not having a report could lead to increased rates or a lost claim​​.
