Crash Reports And Records

The Texas Department of Transportation serves as the official keeper of public purchase crash reports for the State of Texas.

Under Texas Transportation Code Section 550.062, a law enforcement officer who investigates a motor vehicle accident in the course of their duties must file a written report with TxDOT within ten days of the crash if the accident results in injury, death, or property damage that appears to be $1,000 or more to any one person.

Due to their confidential nature, TxDOT accident reports are not available for online viewing by the general public.

Fill out the search form at the top of this page with your name, date of accident, and location. You'll get instant access to your TxDOT CRIS crash report at no charge.

How long does it take to get an accident report in Texas?

Most Texas crash reports are available within 10 days of the accident date. Once filed with TxDOT, reports are updated daily in the CRIS system and available immediately.

What is a TxDOT CRIS crash report?

CRIS (Crash Records Information System) is the Texas Department of Transportation's official database of all reported traffic accidents in Texas. Your crash report contains details about the accident including location, parties involved, and officer notes.

Is there a fee to access my crash report?

No. This service is 100% free and sponsored. No credit card or payment is ever required.

What if I can't find my report?

Reports typically take 7–10 business days to appear after the accident. If yours isn't showing yet, check back in a few days or contact the investigating agency — Dallas PD, Fort Worth PD, Harris County Sheriff, DPS, or whichever department responded to your crash.
