Why would Denton County courts handle my case instead of a city court?

The listed trial courts for these claims are the Denton County District Courts and the Denton County Court at Law. Aubrey is a small city, and injury lawsuits are generally handled through the county court system rather than a municipal court.

What if I live in Aubrey but was injured somewhere else?

Your claim usually follows the place where the crash happened. If you were hurt outside Aubrey, the responding agency, court, and records process may come from that other city, county, or state jurisdiction even if you live in Aubrey.

If my crash was on US 380, is the Aubrey page still the right one?

Sometimes, but not always. US 380 (University Drive) is a major Denton County corridor, so the more useful page is usually the one for the city or county segment where the wreck actually occurred. Start with the exact location listed on the crash report.

How do I get the crash report after an Aubrey-area collision?

Texas CR-3 crash reports are purchased through the TxDOT CRIS portal. The claims data for Aubrey says those reports are typically available within a few days of filing.

Local factors

Why county systems matter in an Aubrey claim

Aubrey is a small city of 8,843 people, so a claim often depends less on city institutions than on county systems in Denton County. Depending on where the wreck happened, the responding agency may be the Aubrey Police Department or the Denton County Sheriff's Department, and any lawsuit is generally filed in the Denton County District Courts or the Denton County Court at Law rather than a city court.

The commute issue matters here. Many Aubrey residents travel on major Denton County corridors such as US 380 (University Drive) or toward the Interstate 35E and Interstate 35W split, and the claim belongs to the jurisdiction where the crash happened, not where you live. In 2024, Denton County recorded 12,339 total crashes and 3,649 injury crashes, according to the Texas Department of Transportation's Table 13 county crash statistics.

That also affects where you get records and which page will be most useful. Texas CR-3 crash reports are purchased through the TxDOT CRIS portal, and serious countywide crash volume is one reason to focus on the exact crash location first. TxDOT's 2024 county statistics also show 47 fatal crashes and 50 fatalities in Denton County, which is another reminder that the county framework usually matters more than the city boundary in an Aubrey-area case.

Texas law

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%.

Deadlines

Texas filing deadlines

Missing a deadline generally ends a claim regardless of how strong it is. Government claims are on a much shorter clock than ordinary claims.
