Which Agency Holds a Report from Kyle
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 Kyle that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Kyle Police Department); outside it, the Hays County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places six other agencies and one campus police department in Hays County, each with a records office of its own.
The Austin Police Department is listed by the FBI across three counties including Hays County, so its arrests are not broken out for Hays County here.
