This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Texas Public Information Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Fayette 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 Fayette County that is the Fayette 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 list also carries the Fayette County Constable's Precincts 2 and 1 (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
