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 Comal 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 Comal County that is the Comal 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 four other agencies in Comal County, each with a records office of its own.
The Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department, the Selma Police Department and the Schertz Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Comal County, so their arrests are not broken out for Comal County here.
