Texas HB4176 amends motor vehicle collision investigation protocols for peace officers and law enforcement agency employees.

Texas HB4176 modifies the investigation process for motor vehicle collisions. It allows peace officers to investigate collisions resulting in injury, death, or property damage of at least $5,000, regardless of the location. It also permits certain law enforcement agency employees, who have completed specific training, to investigate minor collisions without injuries or serious offenses. These employees must file written reports for their investigations. The bill mandates electronic filing of reports within ten days of the collision, including details for vehicle combinations.
