County systems matter more than city limits
Krum has its own police department, but many claim steps still point to county infrastructure. Your report may come from the Krum Police Department or the Denton County Sheriff's Department, and civil cases are handled in the Denton County District Courts or Denton County Court at Law rather than a Krum city court. Texas CR-3 crash reports are purchased through the TxDOT CRIS portal.
If you commute, the place of the crash matters more than your home address. A Krum resident hurt on Interstate 35E and Interstate 35W, US 380 (University Drive), or Loop 288 is dealing with the jurisdiction where that wreck happened, even if you live inside Krum. In Denton County, TxDOT reported 12,339 total crashes and 3,649 injury crashes in 2024, which is why county roads and metro-area routes often shape the claim more than the city itself.
Serious crashes in this area are not limited to Krum streets. TxDOT's 2024 county data shows 47 fatal crashes and 50 fatalities in Denton County, and the countywide corridor list highlights Interstate 35E and Interstate 35W and US 380 as major routes. The Texas fault and deadline rules on this page still apply, but the agency, report, and court usually follow where the crash happened.
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%.
