The Agency in which the request was made refuses to respond, via email, fia fax and lastly postal mail. Therefore this appeal was sent to the TX AG
From: Office of Attorney General
The "publicrecords@oag.texas.gov" e-mail box belongs to the Public Information Coordinator's Office ("PIC") of the Office of the Attorney General. The purpose of PIC is to respond to written requests for records maintained by the Office of the Attorney General. The Open Records Division rules on the applicability of the Public Information Act's exceptions to government records. Although you have e-mailed your letter to PIC, you are attempting to communicate with the Open Records Division.
However, your submission does not comply with the Public Information Act.
The Open Records Division has not accepted electronic submissions via fax or e-mail since January 3, 2012. Pursuant to sections 552.308 and 552.309 of the Government Code (the "Public Information Act"), the following methods are the only means of timely submitting a request for decision, a notice, or other documents to the Open Records Division:
* First Class United States Mail
* Common or Contract Carrier
* Interagency Mail
* Hand Delivery during normal business hours
* Electronic Submission through the OAG's Designated Electronic Filing System at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov<http://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov>. There is a fee to use this service.
Because your submission does not comply with the Public Information Act, you must resubmit it through one of the methods listed above.
Questions? Please call 877-OPEN-TEX.
