Which Agency Holds a Report from Allen
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
Inside Allen that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Allen Police Department); outside it, the Collin County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places nine other agencies and one campus police department in Collin County, each with a records office of its own.
The Sachse Police Department, the Garland Police Department, the Richardson Police Department and three more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Collin County, so their arrests are not broken out for Collin County here.

What the Texas Public Information Act Requires
Under the Texas Public Information Act the agency must answer a request within 10 business days, and it may charge the copy rates set by the Attorney General, plus labor for large requests. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at collincountytx.gov/public-information/open-records-requests (page title: Open Records Requests).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
