Lackland AFB injury claim basics
Lackland AFB is a census-designated place in Bexar County, not a full city with its own court and enforcement system for most injury-claim steps. If you were hurt here, or you live here and were injured somewhere else in Bexar County, the practical questions usually run through county agencies, the TxDOT CRIS report system, and the Bexar County courts shown on this page.

County systems matter more here
For most people in Lackland AFB, the key institutions are county and state systems, not a standalone municipal setup. The claims data for this place points to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety - Texas Rangers as the named agencies, and the courts listed are the Bexar County District Courts and Bexar County Court at Law. That matters because your report, filing path, and court location usually follow the agency and court structure serving Bexar County.
If you commute, the location of the crash usually matters more than your home address in Lackland AFB. A resident of this Bexar County CDP may be injured elsewhere in the county or outside it, and the report can still be requested through the Texas CRIS portal if a Texas peace officer filed a CR-3. The page's state-law sections already cover Texas deadlines and fault rules; the practical next step is to match your claim to where the collision happened and which agency responded.
Scale is part of the answer here. Lackland AFB has a population of 9,467, and county-level crash exposure is much larger than the place itself: in 2023, Bexar County had 213 fatalities in 206 fatal crashes, according to NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System. That does not tell you what happened inside this CDP alone, but it is one reason people here often end up dealing with countywide agencies, county courts, and crashes that occurred somewhere else in the San Antonio area.
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%.
