RE: PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT REQUEST of  6/7/2023, Reference #D019914-060723
The City of Dallas (the “City”) is in receipt of your request. Due to a cybersecurity incident ,the City is experiencing service interruption and is working to restore services. Additionally, various city departments are unable to access records, including information maintained solely in digital format, such as e-mails, and compliance with the request is not feasible at this time. Expect delays in receiving responsive records. We anticipate providing documents within ten business days of when the City fully restores access to digital information. Please consider resubmitting your request at a later time. We appreciate your patience during this time.
