Nueces County, Texas, has about 353,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Nueces County depends on where the incident happened: the Nueces 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 Nueces 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 Nueces County that is the Nueces 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 three other agencies and one campus police department in Nueces County, each with a records office of its own.
The Aransas Pass Police Department is listed by the FBI across three counties including Nueces County, so its arrests are not broken out for Nueces County here.
