A: You can't really force the police to do anything. If taking it to the prosecutors doesn't work, you could try the Constable's office. The county is split up into multiple precincts so look up the address where the violation occurred and contact the corresponding Constable. If you suspect crimes committed by an elected official or the police themselves then contact the Texas Rangers.
