Open Records Requests are processed at the institution where the information is located. For example, to request records from The University of Texas at Austin, a request must be directed to that institution. Therefore, if you are seeking information located at several institutions, a request must be made to each institution and you will receive a separate response from each institution.
Requests for records under the Public Information Act must be in writing. Including the following information in your request will help ensure that you receive the information you want:
- Your name and mailing address(so we can send you a response)
- Your phone number (so we can contact you if we have questions about how to respond to your request)
- A list or description ofthe specific information you are interested in, including time periods. Try to be as specific as possible about the information you are seeking.
