Intelligence and Counterterrorism / Texas Fusion Center - Closed Investigations and Misconduct

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Any and all records including but not limited to final reports, emails, memorandums, and referrals pertaining to any and all closed investigations conducted by your office of Homeland Security Unit (HSU) of the State Intelligence Team (SIT), the Texas Fusion Center (TxFC), and the Texas Suspicious Activity Reporting Network (TxSARNet). For HSU records, please separate them by major sections: Domestic Terrorism (DT) Section, the International Terrorism/Homegrown Violent Extremism Section (IT/HVE), and the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Section. For TxFC and TxSARNet records, please separate them into similar groupings or whatever groupings you use by default.

Any and all responsive records sought should relate to allegations, substantiated or not, into criminal, civil, and administrative misconduct involving the HSU, TxFC, and TxSARNet employees, contractors, grantees, and programs, and include investigations or inquiries that resulted in criminal prosecutions, fines, civil penalties, administrative sanctions, and personnel actions.

The time frame for this request includes any and all responsive records from the creation of the TxFC up to and including the date this request is officially processed.

Furthermore, I would like to know the creation dates for each of these agencies, offices, and/or programs:

1.) Intelligence and Counterterrorism
2.) Texas Fusion Center (TxFC)
3.) TxSARNet
4.) iWatchTexas
5.) State Intelligence Team
6.) Homeland Security Unit of the State Intelligence Team

And, also, what are the agencies, offices, and programs that got rolled up into the ones I just listed.

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. For files that are too large to be sent by email, please use an online file sharing service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or your own servers and provide a link. Or you can upload the files directly using the link provided by MuckRock.

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,

Thomas D. Collinsworth

Hello,

I can't open these MSG files. I've tried different desktop programs and online tools. Could you just copy and paste the text?

Thanks,
