The Texas Public Information Act (Government Code Chapter 552) guarantees public access to government records. You don't need to state why you want the records. Government bodies must respond within 10 business days. If charges will exceed $40, they must provide a written estimate first. Standard copy fees run about $0.10 per page.
Some records are restricted. Birth records stay confidential for 75 years. Death records are sealed for 25 years. Juvenile records, sealed court documents, and medical records are off limits. But property records, tax data, court filings, and business registrations are all public and available for phone directory searches.
The Texas Attorney General's Office handles disputes about record access. If a government body denies your request, the AG issues a ruling on whether the information must be disclosed. Criminal penalties exist for officials who knowingly violate the Public Information Act.
