Which Agency Holds a Report from Hurst
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 Hurst that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Hurst Police Department); outside it, the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places ten other agencies and five campus police departments in Tarrant County, each with a records office of its own.
The Roanoke Police Department, the Flower Mound Police Department, the Trophy Club Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Tarrant County, so their arrests are not broken out for Tarrant 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.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 817-884-1400, handles discovery for pending cases.
