Henderson County, Texas, has about 87,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Henderson County depends on where the incident happened: the Henderson 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 Henderson 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 Henderson County that is the Henderson 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 six other agencies and one campus police department in Henderson County, each with a records office of its own.
The Frankston Police Department and the Mabank Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Henderson County, so their arrests are not broken out for Henderson County here.
