San Patricio County, Texas, has about 71,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate).

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 San Patricio 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 San Patricio County that is the San Patricio 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 list also carries the Taft Independent School District (other agency), with a records office of its own.
The Corpus Christi Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including San Patricio County, so its arrests are not broken out for San Patricio County here.
