Friendswood

Car accident in Friendswood: the police crash-report page, the municipal court and the TxDOT roads FM 518, FM 528 and FM 2351

The short answer

Friendswood, south of Houston, is its own incorporated city with land in Galveston and Harris counties, and its police department's page lists LexisNexis and TxDOT as online sources for crash reports completed by Friendswood officers. The police department and the municipal court both list 1600 Whitaker Drive, and the city's own pages say TxDOT maintains the traffic lights and signs on FM 518, FM 528 and FM 2351.
