In the deeply interconnected world of legal documentation and procedural requirements, the Texas CR-91 form serves as a crucial link for individuals seeking access to crash reports held by the Department of Transportation. When an unexpected roadway incident occurs, gathering the necessary documentation becomes a key step in navigating through the aftermath. This form, revised in April 2008, stands as a straightforward request for a copy of a Peace Officer's Crash Report or its certified version, with fees set at $6 and $8 respectively. Designed to streamline the process, it specifies the need for submitting the request in duplicate to the designated address in Austin, Texas, and highlights the importance of providing payment to facilitate processing. Moreover, it sheds light on Texas Transportation Code, Sec.550.065, elucidating the conditions under which crash reports may be released and emphasizing the report's primarily privileged and confidential nature, albeit with outlined exceptions for access. By furnishing details such as crash date, location, involved persons, and specific requests for information, requestors can efficiently acquire the needed report, provided they wait the mandatory 10 days post-incident to allow for report submission by the investigating officer. This form encapsulates the procedural adherence required for obtaining vital documents that play a significant role in legal, insurance, and personal matters following a vehicular crash, ensuring transparency and accessibility within the bounds of Texas law.

Texas Statute allows the investigating officer 10 days in which to submit his/her report.
Requests should not be submitted until at least 10 days after the crash date to allow time for receipt of the report. The Law also provides that if an officer's report is not on file when a request for a copy of such report is received, a certification to that effect will be provided in lieu of the copy and the fee will be retained for the certification.
