Dear Officer for Public Records:
This request is made under the Texas Public Information
Act, Chapter 552, Texas Government Code, which guarantees
the public's access to information in the custody of governmental
agencies. I respectfully request <copies
of, access to> the following information:
<List here as specifically as possible the information
you are seeking: documents, letters, memoranda, reports
etc. If you know the dates, report numbers, titles or
even the specific governmental subdivision that produced
the information, list it.>
<Optional, when time is a factor.> In
the interest of expediency, and to minimize the research
and/or duplication burden on your staff, I would be pleased
to personally examine the relevant records if you would
grant me immediate access to the requested material.
Additionally, and since time is a factor, please communicate
with me by telephone rather than by mail. My telephone
number is: <insert telephone number.>
<If applicable add.> Disclosure
of this information is in the public interest because
providing a copy of the information primarily benefits
the general public. I therefore request a waiver
of all fees and charges pursuant to Section 552.267 of
the act.
I shall look forward to hearing from you promptly, as
specified in the law. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
<signature>
