The Texas Public Information Act (the "Public Information Act" or the "Act") gives the public the right to request access to government information.  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, to do legal research, or to answer questions.

If you have questions regarding the Texas Public Information Act, please contact the Office of the Texas Attorney General at toll-free (877) 673-6839 or visit their website at www.oag.state.tx.us
