Dear Mr. Spies,

In accordance with your public information request (see email below), we have reviewed the files of Senator Charles Schwertner and have found no responsive documents. I am the custodian of Senate documents and do not have access to the files of the listed members of the Texas House of Representatives.

Please note that Sections 306.003 and 306.004, Government Code, provide that communications of a member of the legislature or the lieutenant governor or memoranda of those communications (which has been ruled to include calendars, schedules, telephone logs, etc.) with a resident of this state and personal information concerning the person communicating with the member of lieutenant governor are confidential by law, and public disclosure is prohibited to ensure the right of citizens of the state to petition their state government without fear of harassment, retaliation, or public ridicule. Therefore, if documents as described in Sections 306.003 or 306.004 exist, they have been withheld.

Respectfully,
Patsy Spaw
