Understanding Texas Public Records Law

Texas has some of the most robust public records laws in the nation. The Texas Public Information Act (TPIA), codified in Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code, grants the public the right to access government records and information. ErathRecords.us helps you understand your rights under this law, including:

How to submit a public information request
What records are exempt from disclosure
How to appeal a denial of records
The timelines government agencies must follow when responding to requests

We believe an informed public is an empowered public, and understanding your legal rights is the first step.
