  • 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.
