We requested a decision letter from the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to withhold some of the information and they ruled in our favor. We are still relying on the attached ruling letter and have withheld information in accordance with the OAG's previously issued letter. Finally, in regards to the second item of your request, records that would be in the possession of Chancellor John Sharp are not maintained by the university. This portion of your request will need to be directed to the System Offices of The Texas A&M University System.
