Johnson County, Texas, has about 211,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Johnson County depends on where the incident happened: the Johnson 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 Johnson 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 Johnson County that is the Johnson 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 seven other agencies in Johnson County, each with a records office of its own.
The Crowley Police Department and the Mansfield Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Johnson County, so their arrests are not broken out for Johnson County here.

A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (817) 556-6802, handles discovery for pending cases.
