Good morning,

In regards to the request for information for the off-duty Sheriff's
Department, the Sheriff's Office does not keep records for the requested
information on off-duty Sheriff's Department.

Please feel free to call if you have any questions.

Thank you,

This request is for off duty and on duty officers that work security for Weber Construction and TxDot, it is for all deputies. I know deputies work security for TxDot, am I not wording this correctly or do we need to go for clarification with the AG???

From: McLennan County Sheriff

"This request has been previously processed and responded to. No records
exist."

Respectfully submitted,

This includes Weber Construction and TxDot. You get invoices and the deputies get paid via Weber construction. This should go through the Sheriff's department, it doesn't go through the auditor's office SO who mails out the checks, who gets the invoices from TxDot and Weber??

From: McLennan County Sheriff

The Sheriff's Office does not and has never mailed out checks to deputies
for payment in regards to Off Duty Security. That work is being done on
their own time as a private citizen. It would be similar to an auditor in
the auditors office working part time for HR Block and then someone saying
that is county work and the county is paying them. Its just factually
false. That is a private transaction between that individual and the entity
paying them. There is no state law that requires the department to gather,
maintain, or keep information in regards to deputies off duty employment and
per the division capts we do not.

Response is as such:

* You get invoices and the deputies get paid via Weber construction.

* The Sheriff's Office has no such records.

* who gets the invoices from TxDot and Weber??

* Not the Sheriff's Office
