The Texas Department of Transportation recently instituted a revised Crash Report Online Purchase System designed for users to search for and purchase certified copies of a Texas Peace Officer's Crash Report (CR-3). There is no fee to verify the existence of a record. The fees to download the report are $6.00 for an uncertified report or $8.00 for a certified report. Credit cards are accepted. See https://cris.dot.state.tx.us/public/Purchase/.
Also, a Code Sheet used by the officers when filling out a report is found at http://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/trf/crash_notifications/cr3_code_sheet.pdf.
While not associated with this agency, quite a number of Texas city and town police departments are hooked up with a vendor who provides online ordering. See www.buycrash.com.
