How to Request Your Report
Identify the responding agency
Your report is held by the agency that responded — in most San Antonio incidents, San Antonio Police Department. Check any paperwork, citation, or exchange-of-information slip from the scene; it names the agency and often a report number.
Choose your request route
For traffic crash reports handled by state police, Texas offers an official request process. For local incidents, contact the agency's records division directly, in person, by mail, or through its online portal if one exists. Requests are made under the The Public Information Act.
Provide identifying details
You will need the date and location of the incident, names of involved parties, and the report or case number if you have one. Bring photo ID; some agencies require it for unredacted copies.
Pay the copy fee
Texas state agencies charge $6 for crash report copies; local departments set their own fees, typically in a similar range. Reports are typically available up to 14 days after crash.
Common Questions
How much does a police report cost in Texas?
The state agency fee for crash reports in Texas is $6. Local departments set their own copy fees, most commonly between $5 and $25. Fee waivers sometimes apply to crime victims; ask the records division.
How long until my San Antonio report is available?
Texas publishes a processing window of available up to 14 days after crash for state crash reports. Local agencies vary: simple incident reports are often ready within days, while reports tied to open investigations may be held until the case closes.
Can someone else request my report for me?
Usually yes. Involved parties, their attorneys, and insurers can typically obtain copies. Some records are restricted or redacted for uninvolved third parties under the The Public Information Act.
What is the difference between a crash report and an incident report?
A crash report documents a traffic collision and in Texas may be requested through the state's official crash report system. An incident report covers other police responses such as theft, assault, or property damage, and is requested from the local agency that responded.
