County systems matter more than city lines
In Cibolo, the response agency depends on where the crash happened. Inside city limits, that may be the Cibolo Police Department, while crashes in county areas may involve the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Department, and some investigations can involve the Texas Department of Public Safety. For the report itself, Texas CR-3 crash reports are purchased through the TxDOT CRIS portal.
For a lawsuit, the city usually is not the main institution you deal with. Civil cases from this area are generally handled in the Guadalupe County District Courts or the Guadalupe County Court at Law, which is why county procedure matters more than the Cibolo city boundary in most injury claims.
Many Cibolo residents are injured while commuting, and the claim belongs to the place where the crash occurred, not where you live. So if you live in Cibolo but were hit outside the city, the responding agency, the court, and even which crash page is most useful will follow that crash location. For context on the county where Cibolo sits, Guadalupe County recorded 17 fatal crashes and 21 fatalities in 2023, according to the NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System.
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%.
