Public Information Request

The Texas Public Information Act (PIA) provides a mechanism for the public to inspect or copy governmental records. A requestor may ask to review records, obtain copies, or both.  A governmental entity is not required to create records, conduct legal research, or answer questions. The Public Information Act is triggered when a person submits a written request.  The governmental entity must respond within 10 (ten) business days, with one or more of the following:

  • provide responsive information pertinent to the request; 
  • advise the request is being processed and will take longer than the 10 business days to produce;
  • advise there is no responsive information;
  • advise the request needs clarification;
  • provide a cost estimate if the request will exceed $40; or
  • advise the responsive information will not be released and an Attorney General Ruling has been requested.
