Hill County, Texas, has about 39,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Hill County depends on where the incident happened: the Hill 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 Hill 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 Hill County that is the Hill 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 Hill County, each with a records office of its own.

What the Texas Public Information Act Requires
The Texas Public Information Act sets the rules: an answer within 10 business days, at a charge of the copy rates set by the Attorney General, plus labor for large requests, from the agency that holds the report.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at co.hill.tx.us/page/hill.OpenRecordsRequest (page title: Hill County, Texas).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 254-582-4070, handles discovery for pending cases.
