Public Information Requests
Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, gives you the right to access government records; and an officer for public information and the officer's agent may not ask why you want them. All government information is presumed to be available to the public. Certain exceptions may apply to the disclosure of the information. Governmental bodies shall promptly release requested information that is not confidential by law, either constitutional, statutory, or by judicial decision, or information for which an exception to disclosure has not been sought.
You may submit your request via email to Austin Dunson, Director of Communications at [email protected]

- Weekends – Saturdays or Sundays
- National Holidays (i.e., New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, & Christmas Day)
- State Holidays (i.e., Confederate Heroes Day, Texas Independence Day, San Jacinto Day, Texas Emancipation Day, Lyndon Baines Johnson Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving, and the 24th & 26th of December)
- Optional Holidays of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, or Good Friday if the Public Information Officer of the governmental body observes the holiday.
- Friday or Monday before or after a national or state holiday if the holiday falls on the weekend and the governmental body observes the holiday on that Friday or Monday.
- Up to 10 additional Designated Non Business Days per calendar year on which administrative offices are closed or operating with minimum staffing. Designation of non business days for a school district must be made by the Board of Trustees.
