House Bill 423 (80th Texas
Legislature) requires medical examiners or justices of the peace acting in the
capacity of a medical examiner to report certain information about traffic
fatalities. These reports must be submitted to the Crash Records Section by the
11th day of each month. These reports must include:
- the name of the reporting agency,
- the name of the deceased,
- the date of the crash,
- the date of death,
- the county where the crash occurred,
- whether the deceased was a driver,
passenger, pedestrian, or other person who was not an occupant of the
vehicle,
- toxicology results if testing was conducted, and
- the name of the lab or facility that conducted any toxicology testing.
The medical examiner or the justice of the peace must also file a
supplemental report if toxicology test results become available at a later date. The required reporting
form
should be faxed or
mailed to us at the address shown on the form.
For additional information on toxicology reporting, please
e-mail us or call us at (512)
486-5780. |
