as long as it takes for you to write your statement
You can file a report without living in the State. Call the police station and tell them you need to file a report.
most laws for rules of the road are similar in any state. an accident report needs to be filed as soon as possible. check with your local law enforcement for the correct filings.

You have 10 days to report accidents over $1,000 in Texas if a police official doesnt' show up on the scene. The sooner the better.

In all states an accident in which damage occurred (and even those in which there is no noticeable damage) are supposed to be reported to the police immediately and at the scene of the accident. If there is no police report it becomes next to impossible to collect compensation from the insurance company.
