Ms. Farkus, we are in receipt of your Public Information Act request, dated February 28, 2019, and are in the early stages of processing it.
The Public Information Act provides that a governmental body may ask a requestor to clarify a request for information if the request is unclear. Gov't Code Section 552.222(b).
Your request is not clear as to whether it is intended to include/cover incoming emails received by Agency personnel from news publishers or subscription service providers which they send (via blast emails) to persons who have signed up for or subscribed to these notices.
Please clarify your request so that we may process your request. If you would like to discuss your request by phone, please call me at 512-305-8303.

Hello Cheryn,
Thank you so much for your response. To clarify things, my request does not include any incoming emails from news publishers/subscription service providers.
If you need further clarification, please let me know!
Thanks,
Mackenzie Farkus
From: Texas State Securities Board
Dear Ms. Farkus, I have attached the emails that are responsive to your request as clarified by your email below.
I have only included one copy of duplicate emails that were sent by an Agency employee to another Agency employee.
I have also included only one copy of the external email from Mr. Fahy (a member of the public), which was sent to two Agency employees, since the copies are identical.
Please note that Section 552.137(a) of the Public Information Act provides that an email address of a member of the public that is provided for the purpose of communicating electronically with a governmental body is confidential and not subject to disclosure under this Chapter. The Texas Attorney General issued Open Records Decision No. 684 (2009), a previous determination to all governmental bodies authorizing them to withhold an email address of a member of the public without the necessity of requesting an attorney general decision.
Therefore we have redacted from the attached emails all email addresses of members of the public, that are subject to Section 552.137(a).
Sincerely, Cheryn Netz
