 CALL NOTES (or “CAD” NOTES): 

These computerized notes are how our dispatchers and officers communicate about the circumstances of a call as it is happening. This is the document you may be looking for if your motor vehicle crash was extremely minor and didn’t require a report, or if your incident did not require documentation in the form of an offense or incident report. Call notes are associated with an incident number, a ten digit number beginning with the year.

This is a State of Texas issued form completed by an officer following a motor vehicle crash.  It contains all driver information, financial responsibility information, date, time, and location of crash, description of what happened, as well as whether any citations were issued or arrests made.  Crash reports are also identified by the above referenced 10 digit incident number.  You can access your crash report through TXDOT at: https://cris.dot.state.tx.us/public/Purchase/. Sample
