Deer Park
Car accident in Deer Park: the police records requests, the municipal court and the SH 225 direct connectors
The short answer
Deer Park, southeast of Houston, is its own incorporated city in Harris County, and its police department's page for public information and crash-report requests says requests must be in writing and lists in person, email, fax and an online form as ways to submit them. The municipal court lists 1302 Center Street, and a TxDOT notice that asked for comments by Feb. 9, 2024, describes five direct connectors proposed between the Sam Houston Tollway and SH 225 at the interchange in Pasadena and Deer Park.
