My Plano crash report has not posted yet. What should I do?
Officers must file a report with TxDOT within 10 days of investigating an injury crash, and Plano's portal can take up to 10 business days to post it. Keep the case number from the officer, and in the meantime save your photos, the other driver's details and any witness names.
What should I record if police did not come to my Plano crash?
Without an officer, there may be no state crash report, and TxDOT no longer keeps reports filed by drivers. Write down the time, the exact location and direction of travel, and what each driver said. Photograph both vehicles, plates, insurance cards and the scene before the cars are moved, if it is safe.
