Denton County, Texas, has about 1.0 million residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Denton County depends on where the incident happened: the Denton 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 Denton 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 Denton County that is the Denton 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 12 other agencies and two campus police departments in Denton County, each with a records office of its own.
The Celina Police Department, the Prosper Police Department, the Plano Police Department and five more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Denton County, so their arrests are not broken out for Denton County here.

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 dentoncounty.gov/1145/Records-Request (page title: Records Request | Denton County, TX).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 940-349-2600, handles discovery for pending cases.
