43 TAC 25.977
The Texas Department of Transportation (department) adopts
amendments to 25.977, concerning reporting of motor vehicle
crashes by investigating officers. The amendments to 25.977
are adopted without changes to the proposed text as published
in the February 11, 2011, issue of the Texas Register (36 TexReg
757) and will not be republished.
EXPLANATION OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS
Law enforcement officers who investigate motor vehicle crashes
are required by Transportation Code, 550.062 to submit a crash
report to the department within 10 days of the crash on a form
prescribed by the department if the crash resulted in injury to
or death of a person or $1,000 or more of property damage.
The form used for the report is referred to as the Texas Peace
Officer's Crash Report, or more commonly as the CR-3.
Under the revisions to 25.977, Reporting by Investigating
Officers, the Texas Transportation Commission (commission)
adopts a second version of the Form CR-3 by reference. The
rule states that a law enforcement officer may use either the
existing version of Form CR-3 or the revised version, the CR-3
Alternate, to report motor vehicle crash information.
The department developed the current version of the CR-3 af-
ter extensive consultation with the law enforcement community
through a crash records working group and after consultation
with the Texas Department of Public Safety. The current version
of the CR-3 was also approved by both the working group and
the Department of Public Safety. The department adopted the
current version of crash reporting form in January of 2010.
The department has received some complaints on the current
form and requested that the Center for Transportation Safety at
the Texas Transportation Institute (CTS-TTI) conduct two sur-
veys of law enforcement agencies concerning implementation
of the current form. The survey indicated that some of the law
enforcement community found the current version of the Form
CR-3 to be both more confusing and time consuming than pre-
vious versions. These surveys indicate that some law enforce-ADOPTED RULES June 10, 2011 36 TexReg 3603
