Carrizo Springs Police Department
The city police handle reports for items lost around town and can connect you with found items brought in by residents or businesses. They're often the first point of contact for lost personal property. We tell you which jurisdiction covers your loss location and file your report directly with them.
Dimmit County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers the broader county and maintains a lost-and-found for items found outside city limits or in county jurisdictions. They also respond after hours if you need to report a loss urgently. We know which agency has jurisdiction and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Carrizo Springs City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department for your specific loss and may hold items found in municipal buildings or on city property. They're also a hub for connecting with community services. We generate the exact information and location details you'll need to include when you contact them directly.
Animal Control & Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Carrizo Springs, the city's Animal Control works with local shelters and rescue groups to reunite lost animals with their families.
