To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

2. The total number of civilian complaints sustained in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 (totals separated by year)
Please only include statistics reflecting the number of civilian complaints, not internal/departmental complaints.
