The high court's Friday ruling sets an even higher standard in proving whether governments can be sued over 911 responses.

State lawmakers and criminal justice experts offer some insight into what drives the lawmaking process in Texas and whether police chases – a phenomenon that killed nearly 100 people in Texas in 2022 – will ever be regulated in the law.

More and more people are dying during high-speed police chases. Officers, suspects and people who weren’t involved in the chase aren't always protected from grave harm.

Experts say tracking police chases fosters transparency and can indicate whether certain pursuit policies are effective. So why don’t more states do it?

The state's high court ruled the cities of Austin and Houston are protected by governmental immunity after their officers were sued over two separate police chase crashes.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled the city council of Buffalo, east of Waco, had the authority to fire a police officer who led a high-speed chase with a civilian passenger. The officer argued he was terminated under the wrong procedures.

A Tarrant County jury declined to indict the officer — whom Fort Worth police haven't named — for crashing into uninvolved driver Andre Craig while chasing a stolen vehicle.

The Texas Supreme Court is weighing whether Austin and Houston police officers recklessly crashed into uninvolved drivers during separate police chases — and whether they're protected by a type of legal immunity.

A Haltom City police chase Sunday ended in a Dallas crash that hospitalized four teens and two adults — at least the second police chase in North Texas this month that's both crossed city limits and ended in a crash. Experts say that adds another important factor to consider when crafting police pursuit policies.

North Richland Hills Police Chief Mike Young can remember when chases ended only with a suspect in cuffs or in a wreck. A 39-year law enforcement veteran, his career in the department began with very different expectations for pursuits.

The father of a man killed last year while police chased another vehicle has filed a lawsuit against the city of Fort Worth.

The Fort Worth Police Department released portions of its police chase policy Feb. 12, after declining for months to do so.
