While requesting Public Records of my mother's probate case Patsy Cox 1. Advised that Texas does NOT have a Freedom of Information Act and advised she would decide what information would be sent to me in the time period that she desired to send it. I was told written request with not promise of time to receive or process. I took this to say it will be for every and you will not be sent anything relevant so why bother? ****The Texas Public Information Act, originally known as the Texas Open Records Act, was approved by the Legislature in 1973 in a reform atmosphere following the Sharpstown stock fraud scandal involving state officials. Spelled out in Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, the act states that “government is the servant and not the master of the people.” *****“The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know,” the law states. ******The Texas Public Information Act requires that you "promptly produce" the requested records unless, within 10 days, you have sought an Attorney General's Opinion. If you expect a significant delay in responding to this request, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records. *****Request Documents from Office of Attorney General If you would like to view or obtain copies of our records, please send a written request by mail, fax or email***Procedures to Obtain Information Submit a request by mail, fax, email or in person according to a governmental body's reasonable procedures. Include enough description and detail about the information requested to enable the governmental body to accurately identify and locate the information requested. Cooperate with the governmental body's reasonable efforts to clarify the type or amount of information requested.
