What if Grand Prairie police did not come to my crash?
Officers must file a state crash report only when they investigate a crash with an injury, a death or at least $1,000 in damage to one person's property. If no officer came, there may be no CR-3, and TxDOT no longer keeps driver-filed reports.
Write down what happened, photograph both vehicles and the scene, and keep the other driver's name, plate and insurance details.
