Hunt County, Texas, has about 119,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Hunt County depends on where the incident happened: the Hunt 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 Hunt 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 Hunt County that is the Hunt 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 ten other agencies and one campus police department in Hunt County, each with a records office of its own.
The Josephine Police Department and the Royse City Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Hunt County, so their arrests are not broken out for Hunt County here.
