The city's charges for public information are set by the Texas Attorney General's Office and are found at Texas Administrative Code §§ 70.1-.12.
The requestor must respond to any written estimate of charges within 10 days of the date the city sent it, or the request is considered automatically withdrawn.
If estimated costs exceed $100 the city may require a bond, prepayment, or deposit.
Make a timely payment for all mutually agreed charges. The city can demand payment of overdue balances exceeding $100 or obtain a security deposit before processing additional requests from you.
