The Texas Public Information Act - Chapter 552

As a citizen, you have the right to inspect public information in the care, custody and control of Eanes ISD, a public school district funded by our tax dollars.  Yes, this includes teachers and employees of the school district. 

The citizens "do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know."

Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) (Texas Government Code 552)

To learn more, visit the Texas Attorney General's Open Government web page.  The Public Information Handbook is available on this site as a searchable Acrobat™ PDF file. 

When making a request to obtain public information, a citizen has two choices:

  1. Request copies of documents

  2. Request to inspect and review documents

If you request to inspect or review documents, after viewing you may then request copies of all of some of the information.  To learn more about reasonable charges to obtain copies visit Texas Attorney General website - Charges for Public Information.

Access public information by submitting a written request to Eanes ISD by email at openrecords@eanes.k12.tx.us. 

Example:

              July 4, 2006

                To:  Eanes ISD

                I request to observe any and all documents that show or reflect information related to <subject of your request>.

The date that the request is submitted in considered Day Zero.  Within ten 10 business days (not including school holidays or weekends) the district must respond in one of three ways:

    1. Produce all responsive public information requested

    2. Provide a "date and hour" that the public information will be available for inspection (if the information is not readily available).

    3. Request an opinion ruling from the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to withhold the public information from public inspection.

If the district does not respond in an appropriate and/or timely way, the requestor has the right to file a written complaint with the Office of the Attorney General, District Attorney and/or County Attorney.
