It cites specific instances of non-response and deficiency, escalating the matter to the state's highest authority for public records enforcement. This represents a critical escalation in the accountability process.

Key Excerpts

"Due to your continued failure to respond to my public records requests and preservation notices, I hereby refer this matter to the Texas Attorney General's Office, Open Records Division, for resolution pursuant to Texas Government Code § 552.321."

"This referral includes all pending requests from October 2, 2025, through October 9, 2025, including the preservation notice sent October 6, 2025, and deficiency notice sent October 7, 2025."

Analysis

The AG referral represents the highest level of escalation available under Texas public records law. It shifts enforcement responsibility to the state's attorney general and creates additional legal accountability for institutional compliance. This step demonstrates exhaustion of internal remedies and establishes grounds for formal legal intervention.
