I have completed the request by searching, organizing, and redacting the records requested. Some of the records in your request, we do not have access to, such as Court Cause numbers/findings and Sentencing information. Those will most likely be on file at the District Clerk and/or County Clerk's offices. Our records are offense reports filed and jail records.
Also as requested, I have totaled the fees below.
There were 171 pages at 0.10 a page = $17.10
I worked 16 hours on the project at $15.00 an hour = $240.00
Total due = 257.10
Payments can be made to:
LEON COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPT.
ATTN: RECORDS DEPT.
P.O. BOX 278
CENTERVILLE, TX 75833
The files are in PDF format. Once payment is made, files will be sent promptly. Again, I thank you for your patience and if there is anything further I can assist with, please let me know.
Thank you,
Dee Craft

"This fee charge ($257.10) and the claimed number of hours worked on this request (16) are excessive. I ask that the Attorney General reduce or waive this high fee."
Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, the act states that “government is the servant and not the master of the people.”
§ 552.261. CHARGE FOR PROVIDING COPIES OF PUBLIC
INFORMATION.. (a) The charge for providing a copy of public
information shall be an amount that reasonably includes all costs
related to reproducing the public information, including costs of
materials, labor, and overhead. If a request is for 50 or fewer
pages of paper records, the charge for providing the copy of the
public information may not include costs of materials, labor, or
overhead, but shall be limited to the charge for each page of the
paper record that is photocopied
§ 552.2615. REQUIRED ITEMIZED ESTIMATE OF CHARGES. (a)
If a request for a copy of public information will result in the
imposition of a charge under this subchapter that exceeds $40, or a
request to inspect a paper record will result in the imposition of a
charge under Section 552.271 that exceeds $40, the governmental
body shall provide the requestor with a written itemized statement
that details all estimated charges that will be imposed, including
any allowable charges for labor or personnel costs. If an
alternative less costly method of viewing the records is available,
the statement must include a notice that the requestor may contact
the governmental body regarding the alternative method. The
governmental body must inform the requestor of the responsibilities
imposed on the requestor by this section and of the rights granted
by this entire section and give the requestor the information
needed to respond.

Sincere apologies for my lack of training. I received the letter from the OAG explaining my errors. I'm awaiting their response. However, you have waited far too long for the records. I will upload the file promptly, no fee required. It's in PDF format and approximately 40MB. If I can be of further assistance to you, please let me know. Thank you, Dee Craft
