Public Information is any information that is collected, maintained, or assembled by or for a governmental entity, regardless of format. The Texas Public Information Act Handbook provides all of the information that you need to know regarding access to governmental records, and also outlines the rights of the Requester and the Governmental Body.
Requests must include a detailed description of the information you are requesting in order for staff to accurately identify the records. The Act requires the City to provide only existing records, and does not require the City to create records, research, or answer questions. The requestor should include accurate contact information such as: name, address, telephone number, and email address. Large, time-consuming requests may require the City to provide the requestor with an estimate of charges, and in some cases, may require a deposit.
The Texas Attorney General's office provides tips for a successful Public Information Request.
