To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Compilations of equipment or munitions to be used, after action reports, incident reports, Special Event Threat Assessment (SETA) Reports, and any other reports on the protests in regard to the executive order by Donald Trump freezing immigration from 7 Middle Eastern nations. These protests occurred January 28th 2017 and January 29th 2017. I would also request department Telex messages for the January 28th 2017 and January 29th 2017 protests. I would also like any written communications with the Governor's Office, Homeland Security, or the US Customs and Border Patrol during the aforementioned time frame.
As a member of the news media working for MuckRock News I request that a fee waiver for my request be granted. My work has been published by national outlets. My work for Motherboard can be viewed at the following link: http://motherboard.vice.com/author/cwaltman
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.
