Supplemental § 552.269 Cost Complaint – TTUS Cost Estimates (Service Request No. OR-25-053696-CC)¶

Dear Cost Rules Administrator,

Please treat the attached letter titled “Complaint under Tex. Gov’t
Code § 552.269 – TTUS Cost Estimates for Requests Dated October 3 &
October 20, 2025” as a supplemental filing in Service Request No.
OR-25-053696-CC. This supplement concerns the Texas Tech University
System’s (TTUS’s) November 3 and November 18, 2025 cost estimates for
my October 3 and October 20, 2025 TPIA requests. For ease of
reference, I am re-submitting certain supporting materials as Exhibits
C-1 and C-2, in addition to the new supplemental complaint letter and
Exhibits A and B.

Attached, please find the Supplemental Cost Complaint letter under
Tex. Gov’t Code § 552.269, together with the following supporting
exhibits:

Exhibit A – TTUS Cost Estimate & Responses (Nov. 3–19, 2025) – the
email thread documenting TTUS’s November 3 and November 18 estimates,
my November 4 response electing inspection and requesting itemization,
my November 13 deposit tendered under protest, and my November 19
follow-up correspondence, including notice of my intent to file a cost
complaint.

Exhibit B – Original TPIA Requests and Clarifications – copies of the
October 3 and October 20, 2025 TPIA request letters and related
clarifications that TTUS aggregated for these estimates.

Exhibit C-1 – 2025-11-19_Supporting_Docs.pdf (the previously submitted
supporting emails and documents related to the November 3 and November
18 estimates).

Exhibit C-2 – 2025-10-20_PIA_Records_Showing_Handling_Existing_Process_Docs.docx
(the October 20, 2025 “Records Showing How You Handled My Requests
(Existing Process Docs Only)” TPIA request), resubmitted so TTUS has
the same process-docs request that is before the Attorney General.

This submission is intended to supplement, not replace, my November
19, 2025 online complaint and the documents already on file. I am not
withdrawing or narrowing any request, and I continue to elect
inspection of electronic records where that reduces costs. I
respectfully ask that the Office add this supplemental letter and
exhibits to the OR-25-053696-CC file and consider them in determining
the appropriate, lawful charges under the Public Information Act and
the Attorney General’s cost rules.

Please let me know if any additional documentation or clarification
would be helpful.

Respectfully,

Kevin Bass PhD MS
