Who covers your address in Texas
Texas is large and unevenly covered: cities run police departments, counties run sheriff’s offices, and the Texas Highway Patrol covers state highways. In rural counties the sheriff’s office may be the only law enforcement for hundreds of square miles.
If you are not sure whether your address falls inside city limits, our guide on police departments vs sheriff’s offices explains how to tell.
Before you call
Have the address or nearest cross streets ready, a short factual description of what happened and when, and say straight away if the person involved has already left. Our guide on when to call 911 versus the non emergency line covers the cases that are not obvious.
