About this guide

Grimes County, Texas, has about 33,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Grimes County depends on where the incident happened: the Grimes 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 Grimes 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 Grimes County that is the Grimes 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 Grimes County Constable's Precincts 1 and 2 and Grimes County Constable at Precinct 3 & 4 (other agency), each with a records office of its own.

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 grimescountytexas.gov/ (page title: Open Records Requests | County Clerk | Grimes County, TX).

A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 936-873-2137, handles discovery for pending cases.
