Explanation of exceptions to disclosure of certain records or portions of records:
Under the Public Information Act, some categories of information do not have to be released. Exceptions to disclosure fall into two general categories: 1) mandatory exceptions that make information confidential and require the City to withhold the information, and 2) discretionary exceptions that allow, but do not require, the City to withhold the information.
In most instances, the City is required to request a decision from the Texas Attorney General in order to withhold information from a requestor. However, a requestor may permit the City to redact information without the need for requesting an Attorney General decision. You are not required to agree to the redaction of any information responsive to your request, but doing so may streamline the handling of your request. NOTE: If you agree to redactions in this records request, then you may still request the redacted information in a future records request; but the City will seek an Attorney General ruling regarding the release of the information.
