Put immediate needs first
If you are in danger, contact emergency services. Seek medical attention for urgent symptoms. This guide does not replace medical care or advice.
Keep the basic facts together
- Write down the date, location, and what you remember.
- Keep any report number and contact details you already have.
- Save photographs and messages in their original form.
Look for the right crash report
TxDOT explains how to obtain Texas crash reports. Follow eligibility requirements and use the official source. A report may take time to become available.
Ask before making legal decisions
If you are unsure about an insurer’s request or a release, ask a Texas attorney. You do not need to decide whether you have a claim on your own.
