Brazos County, Texas, has about 250,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Brazos County depends on where the incident happened: the Brazos County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Texas Public Information Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Brazos County
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.
In Brazos County that is the Brazos County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's agency list also places six other agencies and one campus police department in Brazos County, each with a records office of its own.

The Brazos County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 24 violent and 146 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 484 arrests for 2025.
