Which Agency Holds a Report from Corpus Christi
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Corpus Christi that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Corpus Christi Police Department); outside it, the Nueces County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places three other agencies and one campus police department in Nueces County, each with a records office of its own.
The Aransas Pass Police Department is listed by the FBI across three counties including Nueces County, so its arrests are not broken out for Nueces 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 nuecesco.com/courts/county-attorney/public-information-request (page title: Public Information Request | Nueces County, TX).
