Fort Stockton Crash Reports

In Texas, crash reports are required under specific conditions. According to the Texas Transportation Code, a Crash Report (Form CR-3), also known as a "Blue Form," must be filed when an accident results in injury or death, or when damage to property or vehicles is more than $1,000. If law enforcement does not come to the accident scene or complete a report, it's the responsibility of the involved parties to report the incident within 10 days after the accident. This can be done by you, your insurance agent, the owner of the vehicle, or your legal representative by completing Form CR-2 and submitting it to the Department of Transportation (DOT)​​​​​​​​.

Individuals involved in a crash can obtain a copy of the Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report (CR-3) from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). If the Fort Stockton Police Department responded to your accident, you could request a report through TxDOT’s online system, or directly from the Fort Stockton PD. The Fort Stockton Police Department is located at 123 N Main St, Fort Stockton, TX, and can be contacted at (432) 336-4600 for non-emergency inquiries​​​​​​​​​​​​.

Your Texas crash report is a crucial piece of evidence, especially in personal injury or wrongful death cases. It helps establish fault and liability, provides context and evidence to support your claim, and is essential for proper documentation and investigation of the incident. Insurance companies also use this report to determine liability in an accident. Furthermore, the data from these reports are used by the Crash Records Information System (CRIS) to support TxDOT's efforts in reducing crashes, fatalities, and injuries on Texas roadways​​​​.
