Accident Report
Fort Worth Police Department, through the TxDOT crash records system
Fort Worth now sends crash report requests to the state site, and the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office does the same with its own reports.
01
The Fort Worth Police Department now tells people to use the TxDOT crash records site to request an accident report. That is the first place to look for a crash inside the city, and the copy reaches you by email after you pay.
Fort Worth Police Department02
Fort Worth police say it can take up to two weeks from the date of the crash before yours shows up in the search results. Searching the next day almost never works, so save your scene photos and try again later.
Fort Worth Police Department03
The department says that if you cannot pull up your report on that website after two weeks, call the Police Records unit for help. Have the crash date, the street and the names of the drivers ready before you reach out.

Federal fatal-crash counts, 2022 to 2024
That is 5.2% of every fatal crash the federal file records in the state over the same three years.
These are crashes in which at least one person died within 30 days, as counted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. They are not a count of all crashes, injuries, insurance claims or lawsuits, and most crashes are not in this file at all.
The counts are not adjusted for population, road miles or how much people drive, so they cannot say one place is more dangerous than another. A crash appearing here does not show who was at fault, whether anyone was insured or whether anyone has a claim.

A quick reality check
This page cannot decide fault, medical cause, insurance coverage, legal deadlines, case value or whether you have a claim. Those questions depend on the complete facts, records, state law and a licensed attorney's review.
