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 governmental bodies may withhold government records from the public in specific instances.
The PIA generally requires a governmental body to release information in response to a request for information. However, if a governmental body determines the information is excepted from disclosure under the PIA, then both the request and 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 is permitted to withhold the requested information or must release the information to the requestor.
