The Texas Public Information Act (the "Act") entitles individuals to information about
the affairs of government in Texas and the official acts of public officials and employees
in Texas, unless otherwise expressly provided by law. A Texas Public Information Act
request is a request for public information that is maintained by a Texas governmental
agency, such as the University of Houston System and any of its component institutions
(e.g.,the University of Houston ("UH"), University of Houston-Downtown ("UHD"), and
University of Houston-Clear Lake ("UHCL").
What Your Request Should Include
Your request should be in writing and should include:
Your name and mailing address (so we can send you a response).
Your phone number (so we can contact you with questions about how to respond to your
request).
A list or description of the specific information you are interested in obtaining,
including time periods. Try to be as specific as possible about the information you
are seeking. Please also specify which component institution (e.g., UH, UHD, UHCL)
you are seeking the information from.
Where Your Request Should Be Sent
Your request should be sent to the University of Houston System's Public Information
Act Officer via mail, fax, email, or in person as follows:
