Texas Public Information Act, open records request
Former Leon County, Texas, District Attorney, Mr. Whitney Smith

To Whom It May Concern:
Under the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records within 10 days per statute: Any records regarding former officeholder and candidate: Whitney Smith, Leon County, Texas, District Attorney, for all years, 2003 and all subsequent years up to and including 2017.

I allow for the editing of information which is not able to be released under statute. No documents should be withheld, but only if necessary, information not able to be released under law may be edited.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

If 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.

The requested records should include but not be limited to the following:
1. Campaign finance, contributions and expenditure reports
2. Personal Financial Statements
3. Any corrected reports or statements
4. Any letters or correspondence to or from the Texas Ethics Commission

I submitted an open record request with the Leon County, Texas, Elections Administrator Donna Golden.
Ms. Golden said she does not maintain these records and advised one should go to the Leon County Clerk's Office or the Texas Secretary of State.

If you do not maintain these records I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the appropriate organization which would maintain the records I seek.

Sincerely,

/S/ Rev. L.R. Jackson
Reverend L.R. Jackson
