Dear Mr. McMillan:

Rep. Naishtat will not be a Member of the House in the coming session having made the decision not to run for another term. Gina Hinojosa will represent his district and will be sworn in when the session convenes in January. You may still reside in District 49 and want to contact her office about amending the Texas Open Records Act.

Sincerely,

Subject: 5-18-16 proposed revisions to TX Open Records Act

Dear State Rep. Naishtat and Senator Watson,

As a current constituent of each of you, I would appreciate it if either of you, or any of your other highly-esteemed colleagues in the Texas Legislature, would please propose Legislative revisions to the Texas Open Records Act that:

---require the respondent in each of their reply letters to a cited requestor, or in any letter they might choose to write and send to the Attorney General of Texas that refer to a specific public-information request from that requestor, to clearly state the date of the letter or E-mail public-information request (PIR) from the requestor, the date when that PIR was officially received by the respondent, and the first and last name of the requestor.

----require the Attorney General of Texas to cite the full legal name of the applicable public-information requestor, and the date and official date of receipt that individual's cited public information request, and the date of the letter from the government-agency respondent that requested a ruling from the Attorney General on that PIR, in each and every reply letter or reply E-mail letter or letter or report that that state agency mails or sends or generates that refers to that PIR.

These two proposed revisions to state law should help to eliminate a lot of confusion that can develop for the public-information requestor in Texas as he attempts to determine which PIR of his was the one that elicited any given reply letter he receives from a government agency, along with the date of that particular PIR he had submitted.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan.
