Art. 2A.067 PROVISION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION TO ATTORNEY GENERAL

When police investigate a possible violation of the Texas Open Meetings Act, they have to keep the attorney general's office in the loop. If a law enforcement agency sends a report to a local prosecutor (like a district attorney or county attorney) saying there's probable cause that someone broke this law, they must also send a copy of that same report to the attorney general's open records division at the same time.

The attorney general's office can also ask for more information about these investigations. If they make a request, the law enforcement agency has to hand over any details about the case that haven't already been made public. This means the attorney general stays informed and can access investigation records even if that information isn't available to the general public.

In short, this rule makes sure the attorney general's office has visibility into open meetings law investigations happening across the state, both through automatic reporting and through direct requests for information.
