Mr. Knox,

Your June 10 request, which was assigned ORR No. 151006, is currently pending with the Office of the Attorney General. Once we receive their ruling on the information at issue, we will release or withhold it in accordance therewith. I expect their ruling to be issued sometime in late August/early September. Thank you.

Hi David,

Can you please clarify what you mean by a response from the AG? I wasn't aware they were involved in this -- is the university appealing to request that the documents not be released?

Mr. Knox,

Yes, we believed some of the requested information was excepted from released by exceptions in the Public Information Act, and so we requested a ruling from the OAG as required under Texas law. We have yet to receive their ruling, which will tell us the extent to which the information not yet released should be sent to you. Thank you.
