What does the Travis County Sheriff Incident Report include?
It only includes the portion of the incident report that is public information: type of offense, date/time of the offense, name of the officer who responded, and any items reported stolen or damaged. The public record will not contain any portion of the officer’s narrative. According to Travis County Sheriff (TCSO) website, “If your insurance company requests a copy of a report, the public record contains the information needed.”
If you need the officer’s narrative, you can file an Open Records Request. That request will give you a more detailed report, which contains the officer’s narrative. Note that the website also says, “When you submit your written Open Records Request, ask for the full and complete report or the portion that TCSO is allowed to release.”
If your car crash was minor, a Travis County Sheriff may not have responded or created an accident report. You may be required to file your own report to the sheriff’s office. Learn how to file a Travis County Sheriff incident report.
