Donna Crash Reports

In Texas, crash reports are required under the Texas Transportation Code §550.062 when a law enforcement officer investigates a motor vehicle crash that results in either injury or death, or property damage to the apparent extent of $1,000 or more​​​​​​. If a Texas police officer has already filed a report, then there's no requirement for another report to be filed under these circumstances​​.

Under Chapter 550 of the Texas Transportation Code, any person involved in the case can request a copy of the vehicle accident report. Additionally, anyone can request a copy of their accident report online or by mail, provided they have specific details like the driver's name involved in the accident, the date, and the report number or driver’s license number. For obtaining a report from the Donna Police Department, individuals can contact them directly at 956-464-4481 or visit their location at 207 S. 10th St, Donna, Texas 78537​​​​​​​​.

In Texas, crash reports are considered confidential and are not available for public viewing. The unredacted version of the accident report is only released to specific individuals, such as those involved in the accident and their attorneys. Others can only request a redacted copy. The Donna Police Department follows these state guidelines in handling accident reports​​​​​​.

A Texas auto accident report is a vital piece of evidence for a successful personal injury claim. It helps establish the details of what happened, how it happened, the extent of injuries sustained, and crucially, who was responsible for the accident. Insurance companies also rely on this document to determine liability in an accident​​.
