Reports to police fall under criminal, not civil, since anyone unfortunate enough to have experience will tell you. When the police are called on a civil matter, they tell you to take the person to civil court. While a report may still be made on a civil matter (if the officer is kind enough to take the time to do it), it appears that the only time you can file criminal charges for false report made against you is when the report involves a crime being committed. Here is the law according to The Texas Penal Code:
Texas Penal Code - Section 37.08. False Report To Peace Officer Or Law Enforcement Employee § 37.08. FALSE REPORT TO PEACE OFFICER OR LAW ENFORCEMENT
EMPLOYEE. (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to
deceive, he knowingly makes a false statement that is material to a
criminal investigation and makes the statement to:
(1) a peace officer conducting the investigation; or
(2) any employee of a law enforcement agency that is
authorized by the agency to conduct the investigation and that the
actor knows is conducting the investigation.
(b) In this section, "law enforcement agency" has the
meaning assigned by Article 59.01, Code of Criminal Procedure.
(c) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.
Acts 1973, 63rd Leg., p. 883, ch. 399, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1974.
Amended by Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 900, § 1.01, eff. Sept. 1,
1994; Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 925, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1997.
I found this info here: http://law.onecle.com/texas/penal/index2.html, where it appears you can view laws for all states.
Making false reports to the police is a misdemeanor crime in most states in the United States. If a person was to keep filing false police reports, they could potentially rack up quite a bit of jail time.
You will be arrested and charged with a crime.
The police will investigate and if evidence of physical abuse is found, they can present criminal charges to the prosecutor.
Can I get a copy of someone else's police report
People cannot be illegal. If you want to report illegal activity, contact the police.
Report it to your local police and try and get some proof of how and who is doing it.
The only way to find out for sure if a police report was filed against you is to contact your local police department. Some states do not make this information public.
Filing a false police report is a criminal offense. If you know of someone who has done this, you should notify a police agency, preferably the one where the false report was filed.
Report them to the police

Report it to the police.
You do not need to report it to the police you need to report it to the DMV within 5 days.
It is advisable to also report to the police that you hit a car because once they investigate and find out about it, it can end up into accusations that you hit and run and will make things worse for you.
