Houston Police Department

The Houston Police Department has two confirmed connections to LexisNexis, neither confirmed yet as a direct PSDEX data contribution.

The first is the Community Crime Map. Houston’s official crime statistics page is explicitly titled ‘Community Crime Map hosted by LexisNexis.com,’ confirming an active contract that automatically syncs HPD’s incident data to LexisNexis. The second is BuyCrash: HPD’s public information page directs the public to buycrash.lexisnexisrisk.com for traffic collision reports, via TxDOT. Texas uses LexisNexis BuyCrash as its statewide crash report distribution platform, meaning every HPD crash report submitted to TxDOT flows through LexisNexis infrastructure.

Neither product automatically equals PSDEX contribution. Community Crime Map agencies are frequently PSDEX contributors — but a separate AVCC XML Addendum is required and has not been found for HPD. The BuyCrash relationship means LexisNexis holds HPD crash data but does not confirm PSDEX contribution without a separate contract. A public records request targeting the AVCC addendum is the next step. Texas has no sanctuary policies — state law explicitly prohibits them.
