Follow the link on that official page and review eligibility and payment requirements before ordering.<\/p><p>The department says a crash may take up to 14 days to appear in search results. If you still cannot find it after that period, FWPD directs you to its Police Records unit at 817-392-4160.<\/p><p><a class=\"source\" href=\"https:\/\/police.fortworthtexas.gov\/How-Do-I\/Get-Copy-Accident-Report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FWPD current crash-report instructions \u2197<\/a><\/p><h2>If the report is missing from the search<\/h2><p>Check your crash date, the spelling of the involved names, and the agency shown on the officer\u2019s card. Keep a copy of your search details before contacting Records. An empty search result does not prove that no report was made, and a traffic-map entry does not mean a completed report is ready.<\/p><h2>Check road conditions around Fort Worth<\/h2><p>DriveTexas provides an official route for checking reported road conditions and closures. Use its county and roadway filters for the part of your trip you need to review. For example, distinguish I-35W from I-35E when describing a location; the interstate number alone may not identify the correct road.<\/p><p><a class=\"source\" href=\"https:\/\/drivetexas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open DriveTexas road conditions \u2197<\/a><\/p><div class=\"status\">The Fort Worth snapshot above automatically checks the city\u2019s accident source every five minutes while this page is open. DriveTexas remains a separate external road-information service, not a complete record of every local collision. Check it before driving, not while behind the wheel.<\/div><h2>Keep crash reports separate from other records<\/h2><p>If you need a different record, describe that record specifically when contacting the department. An insurance claim number, a police incident number, and a crash-report search are different identifiers and processes. Keep all three clearly labeled in your claim file.<\/p><h2>Was the crash elsewhere in DFW?<\/h2><p>Use the investigating agency rather than the nearest major city. For a Dallas Police investigation, our <a href=\"\/es\/states\/texas\/dallas\/\">Dallas guide<\/a> explains the city\u2019s records-request route. For another department, begin with that agency\u2019s official instructions or the statewide resources in the Texas hub.<\/p><h2>Texas rules and next steps<\/h2><p>Our <a href=\"\/es\/states\/texas\/\">Texas resource hub<\/a> covers statewide report access and general lawsuit deadlines. City resources do not change the statewide rules. Use the <a href=\"\/es\/checklist\/\">accident checklist<\/a> to organize next steps and the <a href=\"\/es\/expenses\/\">expense tracker<\/a> to separate documented costs from estimates.<\/p><p class=\"small\">Local sources checked October 23, 2026.
