We have decided to release the attached Dallas County Jail emergency plans, which are on file with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards.  As a result, the plans have become public information and we are withdrawing our request for a ruling from the Attorney General.  Since this request involves less than 10 pages of information, we will not charge a copy fee.
