Subject: Texas Public Information Act Request: Emails on APD Rape Kit Audit (Texas Department of Public Safety)

Email


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

All emails on or related to the audit on Austin Police Department's handling of rape kits.

I am a career journalist with work that has appeared in various publications such as MuckRock, The Simmons Voice, and The Westwood Horizon. I am willing to pay any reasonable expenses associated with this request, however, as the purpose of the requested disclosure is in full conformity with the statutory requirements for a waiver of fees, I formally request such a waiver.

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.

Sincerely,

Mackenzie Farkus
