Public Information Request (Open Records)
The Texas Public Information Act gives the public the right to request access to government information.
Making a Request
The Act is triggered when a person submits a written request to a governmental body. The request must ask for records or information already in existence. The Act does not require a governmental body to create new information, do legal or other research, answer questions, or explain district decisions.
Charges to the Requestor
A person may ask to view the information, obtain copies of the information, or both. If a request is for copies of information, the governmental body may charge for the copies. If a request is only for an opportunity to inspect information, then usually the governmental body may not impose a charge on the requestor. However, under certain limited circumstances a governmental body may impose a charge for access to information. All charges imposed by a governmental body for copies or for access to information must comply with attorney general rules, unless another statute authorizes an agency to set its own charges.
Costs for Public Information Requests
