Texas Counties: Crimes Reported in 2013

Crime data is reported by local law enforcement agencies to the Texas Departement of Public Safety's Uniform Crime Reporting Section, which is modeled after the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report (UCR). It includes seven categories of crime: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, and auto theft. The DPS estimates crime data for jurisdictions which choose not to report.

The crime rate is defined as the number of crimes reported per 100,000 population.

The FBI advises against using UCR data to rank the performance of law enforcement agencies.

2The Collingsworth County Sheriff's Department is the only law enforcement agency in the county. It reported only three crimes from 2009 to 2013: two burglaries in 2009 and a murder in 2011. The last year that it reported crimes in multiple categories was 2008, when the total was 7 and the rate was 237.5 per 100,000.

3The total printed in the Texas DPS report is 966,356. The sum of their county totals - which does not include Crockett County - is 966,352.
