What information is included on the crash report?
As the person involved in the accident, you can obtain the full or “non-redacted” version of the
report. The non-redacted report will include the location of the accident, the description of the
accident, the findings of fault by the officer and the insurance information for all parties
involved. You will be required to complete an affidavit online to certify your involvement in the
crash in order to obtain the non-redacted report when ordering the report from TXDOT.
If you are not the person involved in the accident, you will only be able to obtain a redacted
version of the report. The redacted report will have all personal information, including phone
numbers, addresses and dates of birth removed. Insurance information may also be removed.
When will my crash report be available?
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s department often has crash reports available in several days,
although depending upon the complexity of the collision, it can take as long as 14 days or more.
Why is the insurance company waiting for the crash report to be available before accepting
liability?
If the other driver tells their insurance company that you were at fault, the insurance company
may not accept liability for the accident until the insurance company reviews the crash report.
Who can see my crash report?
Anyone can complete a public information for information on your accident. The public
information response will contain the date, time and location of the accident, the responding
officer’s name and incident number. Personal information, such as addresses, and driver’s
license numbers will be redacted.
Non-redacted crash reports can also be ordered by insurance companies, certain media outlets
and vehicle storage facilities.
