I have completed the request by searching, organizing, and redacting the records requested. Some of the records in your request, we do not have access to, such as Court Cause numbers/findings and Sentencing information. Those will most likely be on file at the District Clerk and/or County Clerk's offices. Our records are offense reports filed and jail records.

Also as requested, I have totaled the fees below.

There were 171 pages at 0.10 a page = $17.10
I worked 16 hours on the project at $15.00 an hour = $240.00
Total due = 257.10

Payments can be made to:
LEON COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPT.
ATTN: RECORDS DEPT.
P.O. BOX 278
CENTERVILLE, TX 75833

The files are in PDF format. Once payment is made, files will be sent promptly. Again, I thank you for your patience and if there is anything further I can assist with, please let me know.
Thank you,

"This fee charge ($257.10) and the claimed number of hours worked on this request (16) are excessive. I ask that the Attorney General reduce or waive this high fee."

body shall provide the requestor with a written itemized statement
that details all estimated charges that will be imposed, including
any allowable charges for labor or personnel costs. If an
alternative less costly method of viewing the records is available,
the statement must include a notice that the requestor may contact

Sincere apologies for my lack of training. I received the letter from the OAG explaining my errors. I'm awaiting their response. However, you have waited far too long for the records. I will upload the file promptly, no fee required. It's in PDF format and approximately 40MB. If I can be of further assistance to you, please let me know. Thank you, Dee Craft
