Public Information Act Requests
The Public Information Act - Texas
The Public Information Act (PIA) provides a mechanism for citizens to inspect or copy government records. It also provides that government bodies may withhold government records from the public in certain circumstances.
The PIA generally requires a government body to release information in response to a request. However, if a governmental body determines that the information is exempt from disclosure under the PIA, then both the request and the information at issue must be reviewed by the Open Records Division (ORD) of the Texas Attorney General. The ORD will issue a decision on whether the governmental body may withhold the requested information or must release it to the requester.
