County systems matter more than city lines
Aransas Pass is a smaller city in San Patricio County, and many injury claims here depend on county infrastructure. Your crash may be handled first by the Aransas Pass Police Department, but county response can involve the San Patricio County Sheriff Office, and serious investigations may also involve the Texas Department of Public Safety - Texas Rangers. If a lawsuit is filed, the listed trial courts are the San Patricio County District Courts and the San Patricio County Court at Law.
The commute issue matters here. Many people who live in Aransas Pass are injured outside the city, and the claim usually follows the place of the crash rather than your home address. That means a collision in another county may use a different police agency, a different courthouse, and a different local process even if you live in Aransas Pass. For crashes investigated in Texas, CR-3 reports are purchased through the TxDOT CRIS portal, and the page's Texas law sections already cover the statewide fault and filing rules.
For context, San Patricio County recorded 14 fatal crashes and 16 fatalities in 2023, according to the NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System national file, with 3 pedestrian fatalities. That does not tell you what your own claim outcome will be, but it is a reminder that even in a smaller place, serious crashes are handled through county-level courts, records systems, and law enforcement.
How fault is allocated in Texas
Texas follows modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar. Below that line your recovery is reduced in proportion to your fault. Above it, you recover nothing at all, which makes the fault allocation the central dispute in most contested claims.
As an example, a $100,000 claim in which you are found 20% responsible would yield $80,000. The same claim with 51% responsibility attributed to you would yield nothing, because Texas bars recovery above 50%.
