Kerrville Crash Reports

A Texas accident report includes details of the motor vehicle crash that resulted in injury, death, or property damage to the extent of $1,000 or more. Law enforcement officers are required to submit this report to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) within ten days of the accident. However, TxDOT maintains confidentiality for these records and they are not available for public viewing online. Individuals directly involved in the accident or those with a proper interest can request a copy upon written request and payment of the required fee.

In Texas, a car accident typically stays on your insurance record for 5 years. During this period, having multiple traffic violations or accidents can lead to increased insurance premium rates.

If your accident report contains inaccuracies, you are entitled to request changes by contacting the police department with your explanation and supporting documentation. While law enforcement may sometimes refuse to alter a report, you can involve an attorney to take the matter before a judge if necessary. It's crucial to act quickly and provide thorough documentation to support your dispute.

If a police officer does not investigate the scene of an accident in Texas, you must file a crash report with TxDOT no later than the 10th day after the accident. This is mandatory for any accident that results in injury, death, or property damage of $1,000 or more.
