*** PUC Open Records Auto-Response. Please do not reply to this e-mail. ***
Thank you for submitting your open records request under the Public Information Act (PIA) to the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC). Your request has been forwarded to the PUC’s Public Information Coordinator. The Public Information Coordinator will address PIA requests in the order they are received, but in all cases within the time prescribed by law.
Time To Respond
We will promptly respond to your request by providing the requested information, informing you there is no responsive information, or notifying you all or a portion of the requested information falls under an exception to public disclosure and requires a ruling from the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). If the requested information does not fall under an exception to public disclosure but will take longer than 10 business days to produce, we will notify you of the date and time the information will be provided.
Request for Clarification
You can help us respond more quickly to your request by ensuring that your request is clear, specific, and requests only the information you wish to receive. We do our best to relate requests to the information we have and do not require records to be requested by their specific names, but if you know the specific name of the record you are requesting, it will help us respond more efficiently.
If your request is vague or overly broad, we may, in compliance with Texas Government Code § 552.222, request clarification in order to ensure we understand what information you are requesting. Also, please keep in mind that we are not required under the PIA to create new information, do legal research, or answer questions. See Open Records Decision Nos. 555 and 563 at https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/open-government/open-records-decisions.
Withholding Information
Although the PIA makes most government information available to the public, some exceptions exist. If we believe an exception applies, we will notify you that the information cannot be released and request a ruling from the OAG.
Costs
You may be charged for costs associated with responding to your request. Personnel time is charged at $15 per hour, plus 20% of the personnel charge for overhead. There is also a charge of $0.10 per page, plus personnel time, if the request exceeds fifty pages, plus postage. These rates are set by the OAG. You can find more information regarding costs associated with PIA requests here: https://texreg.sos.state.tx.us/public/readtac$ext.ViewTAC?tac_view=4&ti=1&pt=3&ch=70&rl=Y.
For more information regarding access to public information held by the PUC, please visit our website at https://www.puc.texas.gov/agency/about/contact/PIA.aspx.
You may also find more detailed information regarding the PIA in Texas Government Code Chapter 552 or on the OAG’s website at https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/open-government/members-public.

Good Morning,
We are sorry for any confusion, but the PUC has no record of your September 23, 2024, request. Can you please show us the email address you submitted your request to so that we may update our records with your official request date? We typically work on requests in the order they are received, however, because of this mix up we are working to respond to your request as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
