I'm the lawyer who deals with public records requests for my state department. I'd be shocked if most of the questions being asked here aren't plainly addressed in the Texas FOIA/IPRA act; the act additionally probably specifies the remedies if a violation is alleged.

As far as the specific article Doug references, I would tend to think that the Attorney General's opinion might be more reasoned from a legal standpoint than that of some tv reporter, even if she is from the cosmopolitan Lufkin/Nacogdoches area.

If Doug is concerned that the AG is doing something unethical, there are certainly avenues available to develop such a claim.

But what does any of this have to do with guns?
