It cites specific instances of non-compliance and transfers enforcement responsibility to the state's highest authority.

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 exhaustion of internal remedies and shifts enforcement to the state's attorney general. This creates additional legal accountability and establishes grounds for formal investigation and potential penalties for non-compliance.
