County systems matter more here
Caddo Mills is a small city of 5,257 people, so a lot of the claim process points outward to county infrastructure. You may deal with the Caddo Mills Police Department for a city crash, but the Hunt County Sheriff's Department and the Hunt County District Courts or Hunt County Court at Law are often the institutions that matter once a claim moves beyond the scene.
The commute issue is important here. If you live in Caddo Mills but the crash happened somewhere else, the claim usually follows the place of the wreck, not your home address. The report may still be bought through the TxDOT CRIS portal, and if a lawsuit is filed for a crash tied to this area, the page data identifies Hunt County District Courts and Hunt County Court at Law as the local trial courts.
It also helps to keep scale in mind when you assess seriousness. For Hunt County, the 2023 NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System national file reports 33 fatal crashes and 35 fatalities, including 2 pedestrian fatalities and 2 bicyclist fatalities. That county-level picture is broader than Caddo Mills itself, but it is the dataset this page has for the area around the city.
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%.
