Dalrock Road splits Rowlett between two counties. Property west of Dalrock is in Dallas County and property east of it is in Rockwall County, and that line decides where an injury case is filed. We handle the insurance calls and paperwork, and you pay no fee unless we recover for you.
Two big roads cross Lake Ray Hubbard here. I-30 runs along the south end of town, and the President George Bush Turnpike’s eastern extension, opened in December 2011, runs 9.9 miles from SH 78 in Garland through Sachse and Rowlett to I-30. Lakeview Parkway (SH 66) is the main east-west street, and the DART Blue Line ends at the Downtown Rowlett station on Main Street. TxDOT is widening I-30 and adding continuous frontage roads, including new frontage-road bridges over the lake, with the Dalrock-to-SH 205 section estimated at $317 million and expected to finish around 2027. Lake bridges and long construction zones leave little room to stop or pull over, and we look at both when we reconstruct how a crash happened.
Rowlett Police Department handles state crash reports electronically. You can get yours online through LexisNexis eCrash, or bring a request form to the Records Section at 4401 Rowlett Road, weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (972-412-6298). A state crash report costs $6. TxDOT’s Crash Records Information System sells the same report for $6, or $8 certified.
Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Lake Pointe at 6800 Scenic Drive is inside Rowlett and runs a 24-hour ER with a Level III trauma designation. If you were in a wreck, get seen there or by your own doctor the same day. Many crash injuries take a day or two to show up, and the insurer will point to any delay.
West of Dalrock, a Rowlett injury suit belongs in Dallas County and is heard downtown at the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building, where County Courts at Law take civil claims with no dollar cap. East of Dalrock, the case is filed in Rockwall at 1111 E. Yellowjacket Lane, which houses County Court at Law No. 1 and the 382nd District Court. Rockwall and Dallas juries come from very different places, and that shapes our trial preparation from the start.

Texting, adjusting navigation, or reaching for items can take eyes off the road and cause serious crashes.
Alcohol, drugs, or fatigue reduce reaction time and judgment, increasing crash risk.
Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and ignoring speed limits cause countless preventable wrecks.
Unsafe driving during rain, fog, or debris on the road can lead to hydroplaning, loss of control, or chain-reaction collisions.
