Police Records

Copies of police records may be obtained by contacting the DPS Records Division.  Copies of Accident Reports  (generated after July 1, 2008) may be obtained online. 


 

Public Information Requests


In addition, the Records Division processes Public Information requests.  The majority of information contained in police reports is considered public information by law and is available to citizens and the media - with some limitations.  A Request for Information Form is a document that allows records personnel to more efficiently respond to a request for documents. 

The following types of information are not public and will either not be provided, or will be removed from reports that are provided:

  • All information related to a juvenile involved in a criminal act.
  • Names of victims of sex crimes and the details related to such crimes.
  • The names of suspects involved in a criminal offense if they have not yet been arrested.
  •  The release of information on an ongoing investigation, if the release of the information could prevent the arrest and prosecution of a suspect.
  •  All information relating to child abuse victims.

Individuals needing copies of records or documents should submit a Request for Information form to the Records Division.  Texas law allows 10 business days to reply to a public information request, but it is our goal to provide the information as soon as possible. 

After completing the form, you may mail, fax, or return it in person to the Records Division between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.  There may be a charge, depending on the quantity of copies and time involved to research the information.
