Open Records Request
Policy
MINI传媒's policy and procedures for handling public records requests are set forth in MINI传媒 Regulation 07.01. This regulation applies to all requests for public records from the System administration and all of the System's component institutions. It is the policy of the Texas Tech University System and the State of Texas that Institutions of Higher Education serve the people of Texas, and, thus, the general public is granted certain rights under the Texas Public Information Act to view or receive a copy of the documents and electronically stored information held by this institution and its components except where the law recognizes the confidentiality of certain records. The institution may charge for copies, labor, redactions or other supplies or services; however, if the institution expects the costs to exceed $40, then the institution is required to send an estimate of the costs to the requestor prior to fulfilling the request.

How Do I Submit a Request?
The Public Information Act applies only to documents or electronically stored data existing at the time of the request. You may submit a Public Information Act request for the MINI传媒 or any of its components by detailing your request in writing and submitting it to the Public Information Act Officer, as follows:
|
Electronically: |
|
|
Hand Delivery: |
Public Information Act Officer |
|
Mail: |
Public Information Act Officer |
Please Note: Broad requests, requests for documents older than three (3) years and requests for emails (due to the volume of emails received daily) require a significant amount of staff time and may result in estimated charges that may have to be paid prior to receiving the requested information. Optimum requests are narrow and directed to specific documents at specific components; please prepare your request accordingly. In addition, please include a mailing address if you submit your request electronically, as the Texas Attorney General will only correspond directly with you via U.S. mail.
