Reviewed and updated October 9, 2026 by the SearchSystems.net editorial team. The arrest and crime counts are the ones each agency reported to the FBI, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026. Every office link was opened and checked against the office's own site on September 23, 2026.
Travis County, Texas, has about 1.4 million residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Travis County depends on where the incident happened: the Travis 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 Travis 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 Travis County that is the Travis 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 eight other agencies and four campus police departments in Travis County, each with a records office of its own.
The Elgin Police Department, the Mustang Ridge Police Department, the Cedar Park Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Travis County, so their arrests are not broken out for Travis County here.

What the Texas Public Information Act Requires
Under the Texas Public Information Act the agency must answer a request within 10 business days, and it may charge the copy rates set by the Attorney General, plus labor for large requests. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at traviscountytx.gov/its/records-request (page title: Open Records Request | Travis County, Texas).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (512) 854-9400, handles discovery for pending cases.
