IN the SUPREME COURT of TEXAS Bill
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF TEXAS Bill Misc. Docket No. 97- ORDER AND OPINION DENYING REQUEST UNDER OPEN RECORDS ACT PER CURIAM The Court has received a request under the Texas Open Records Act, TEx. Gov'T CODE §§ 552.001-.353, from Andrew Wheat with Texans for Public Justice, for "any outgoing and incoming telecommunications records (office/cellular/mobile and fax phones) for Texas Supreme Court Justices and their staffs for the period covering Aug. 30, 1996 to Apri12, 1997." The Court's usual practice when it receives a request under the Open Records Act is to instruct the Clerk to deny the request by letter on the grounds that the Legislature has expressly excluded the judiciary from the Act. The Act requires a "governmental body" to release "public information" on request, id. § 552.221(a), but to protect the independence of the judiciary the Act plainly states, "`Governmental body' . does not include the judiciary", id. § 552.003(1)(B). The exclusion of the judiciary simply could not be plainer, as every Attorney General has confirmed since the Act was passed twenty-four years ago. We must alter our usual practice on this occasion because of Attorney General Dan Morales' recent issuance of Open Records Decision No. 657 (July 24, 1997). For the first time an Attorney General has introduced confusion and uncertainty into the construction of a clear statute. At issue are not merely a few telephone records of the Supreme Court, but all records of all Texas judges and courts. We write to explain why ORD-657 is incorrect. -

07-0931 City of Dallas V. Greg Abbott
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF TEXAS 444444444444 NO. 07-0931 444444444444 CITY OF DALLAS, PETITIONER, v. GREG ABBOTT, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS, RESPONDENT 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 ON PETITION FOR REVIEW FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 Argued October 15, 2008 JUSTICE WAINWRIGHT, joined by JUSTICE JOHNSON, dissenting. The introductory section of the Public Information Act (PIA) announces the policy of the State of Texas on the peoples’ right of access to public information. Under the fundamental philosophy of the American constitutional form of representative government that adheres to the principle that government is the servant and not the master of the people, it is the policy of this state that each person is entitled, unless otherwise expressly provided by law, at all times to complete information about the affairs of government and the official acts of public officials and employees. TEX. GOV’T CODE § 552.001. This laudable objective of the PIA, to ensure transparency in public affairs, does not require that all public information be routinely disclosed. Sensibly, some data defined as public information may be withheld under the statute’s terms, but the PIA requires that exclusions from disclosure be timely raised with the Office of the Attorney General. Id. §§ 552.101, .301. A public entity has ten business days to request the Attorney General’s opinion if it desires to withhold public information. Id. § 552.301. If the governmental body fails to meet this statutory deadline, the standard for withholding the public information from disclosure rises from merely “confidential” to the governmental entity having to establish a “compelling reason” for nondisclosure. -
