Colorado County, Texas, has about 21,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Colorado County depends on where the incident happened: the Colorado 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 Colorado County
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.
In Colorado County that is the Colorado 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.
Reports from the Colorado County Sheriff's Office
The Colorado County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 9 violent and 72 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 110 arrests for 2024.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at co.colorado.tx.us/page/colorado.sheriff (page title: Colorado County Sheriff's Office), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.

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 co.colorado.tx.us/page/colorado.publicinformationrequest (page title: Colorado County Public Information Request).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
