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.
