Additionally, in Open Records Decision No. 634 (1995), the Texas attorney general authorizes TEA to withhold any information requested under the Public Information Act that TEA determines is confidential under FERPA without the necessity of seeking a determination from the attorney general under Section §552.301 of the Government Code. In light of the above, unless you provide TEA with a copy of your state or federal issued photo identification, TEA will be unable to release to you information that may be responsive to your request in part or in its entirety. If we do not receive your response within ten (10) business days your request will be closed. To provide the photo identification, please send a legible copy of the identification to the TEA Public Information Coordination Office, using one of the following three methods: by confidential e-mail, by certified U.S. Postal Service, or via fax. 1.
