Fort Worth Police Reports and TxDOT Crash Records
The Fort Worth Police Department handles crash reports for city streets inside the city limits. Texas officers write crashes up on the state CR-3 form, and TxDOT’s Crash Records Information System, known as CRIS, sells copies of those reports statewide, including crashes worked by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
FWPD reports come from the Police Warrants and Records Division at 1000 Calvert Street, Fort Worth, which is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. A report costs $6, certification adds $2, and a search that turns up no report still carries a $6 fee.
Requests can go by mail or by email, with emailed copies capped at 10 pages. The division takes credit cards, cashier’s checks, and money orders, but no personal or business checks, and no cash by mail.
Online, drivers must access TxDOT’s CRIS purchase site, where a regular copy costs $6 and a certified copy $8, and card processing fees may apply. Texas Transportation Code 550.065 limits who can buy one: the people involved and their representatives, owners of the vehicles or property, insurers, the media, and government agencies.

McCart Avenue at Altamesa Boulevard. NBC 5 reported that three stretches of McCart ranked in the top six of the city’s 2019 high-injury list. At the Altamesa intersection, the city added new signals, ramps, crosswalks in every direction, and turn lanes, with TxDOT managing construction from February 2024 and completion expected about June 2025.
East Berry Street. NBC 5’s analysis counted 10 deaths on East Berry from 2019 to mid-May 2024 and called it the second-deadliest street in the city, and one of the seven worst for pedestrian deaths.
NW 26th Street, North Main Street and Stockyards Boulevard to Angle Avenue and Refugio Avenue. This Stockyards-area stretch is one of the 10 top corridors in the Vision Zero Safety Action Plan and sits on the plan’s high-injury network for pedestrians.
Evans Avenue, East Morningside Drive to East Berry Street. Another of the plan’s top 10 corridors, listed on the high-injury network for motor vehicle crashes.
Mark IV Parkway, Meacham Boulevard to the crossover ramp. This stretch made the plan’s top 10 and is on the high-injury network for three kinds of crashes: motor vehicles, commercial vehicles and motorcycles.
