Dear Mr. Kane:
This email is in response to your public information request to the Office of the Governor ("OOG"), received by the OOG on May 1, 2019. A copy of your request follows this email.
Some information was released to you on May 15, 2019. The OOG requested an open records letter ruling from the Office of the Attorney General as to whether the remaining information responsive to your request was excepted from disclosure under the Public Information Act. On July 22, 2019, the Office of the Attorney General issued Open Records Letter Ruling No. 2019-19934 (2019). That ruling concludes some of the information at issue must be released. The information that must be released is attached to this email.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (512) 463-1750 or publicrecords@gov.texas.gov<mailto:publicrecords@gov.texas.gov>.
Sincerely,
Joseph Behnke
Assistant General Counsel
Office of Governor Greg Abbott
