Crash Reports
Due to their confidential nature, Texas crash reports are not available for online viewing by the general public in accordance with Texas law.
TxDOT offers these formats for submitting crash data:
Texas Crash Report Forms
This page contains the Crash Report forms and instructions used to report all crashes. Due to TxDOT’s 10-year retention policy for crash reports, and changes to the forms over time, there are three groups of crash reports and instructions to be used by law enforcement agencies when reporting crashes:
TxDOT also offers the CR-3 Alternate Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report form that is formatted to include the crash report codes within the report.
Note: The CR-3 and CR-3 Alternate forms are for use by Texas law enforcement agencies only.
2018 Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report Forms
The 2018 forms and publications are to be used to report all reportable crashes occurring on or after Jan. 1, 2018.
