Police records stay with the agency that made them, such as a city or town police department, a sheriff's office or the state police. What each agency releases, and how fast it answers, differs from place to place.

Requests for DPS records are made under the Texas Public Information Act, by email or through the DPS Public Information Center. TxDOT is the custodian of Texas crash records.
