Re: Open Record Request of October 02, 2018, Reference # C010907-100218
Dear Lucas Larson,
The City of Austin received a Public Information request from you on October 02, 2018, to request copies of records pertaining to the following:
The notice for information removed per section 552.130 actually pertains to the redactions made within the released documents. As stated on the notice, the redacted information falls under the category of a motor vehicle information such as operator's/driver's license, title or registration, or personal identification. If you wish to receive the same documents without these redactions made, then you must appeal to the Attorney General. The redaction notice is intended to inform you the type of information which was redacted from your documents.
The letter sent to the Attorney General regarding the ruling we are seeking is separate from what you have already received. You can contact the Office of the Attorney General if you have additional questions regarding their process.
