Trinity County, Texas, has about 14,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Trinity County depends on where the incident happened: the Trinity 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 Trinity 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 Trinity County that is the Trinity 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 Trinity Independent School District and the Trinity County Constable's Precinct 1 (other agency), each with a records office of its own.
Reports from the Trinity County Sheriff's Office
The Trinity County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 11 violent and 37 property crimes reported for 2025 and reported 197 arrests for 2024.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at co.trinity.tx.us/page/trinity.Sheriff.Jail (page title: Trinity County, Texas), 162 West 1st St Groveton, TX 75845, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
Reports from the City Agencies in Trinity County

What the Texas Public Information Act Requires
The Texas Public Information Act sets the rules: an answer within 10 business days, at a charge of the copy rates set by the Attorney General, plus labor for large requests, from the agency that holds the report.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at co.trinity.tx.us/upload/page/3889/docs/Forms/Public%20Information%2... (page title: Public Information Request Form | Trinity County).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 936-642-2401, handles discovery for pending cases.
