For accident reports, Mesquite police also integrate with BuyCrash.com and TxDOT CRIS for online report purchases. These are third-party systems that provide a way to get crash and accident reports without going through the Records Section directly. This is helpful if you need a report quickly and the incident involved a vehicle accident.
