1 Tex. Admin. Code § 70.5 - Access to Information Where Copies Are Not Requested
(a) Access to information in standard paper
form. A governmental body shall not charge for making available for inspection
information maintained in standard paper form. Charges are permitted only where
the governmental body is asked to provide, for inspection, information that
contains mandatory confidential information and public information. When such
is the case, the governmental body may charge to make a copy of the page from
which information must be edited. No other charges are allowed except as
follows:
(1) The governmental body has 16 or
more employees and the information requested takes more than five hours to
prepare the public information for inspection; and
(A) Is older than five years; or
(B) Completely fills, or when assembled will
completely fill, six or more archival boxes.
(2) The governmental body has 15 or fewer
full-time employees and the information requested takes more than two hours to
prepare the public information for inspection; and
(A) Is older than three years; or
(B) Completely fills, or when assembled will
completely fill, three or more archival boxes.
(3) A governmental body may charge pursuant
to paragraphs (1)(A) and (2)(A) of this subsection only for the production of
those documents that qualify under those paragraphs.
(b) Access to information in other than
standard form. In response to requests for access, for purposes of inspection
only, to information that is maintained in other than standard form, a
governmental body may not charge the requesting party the cost of preparing and
making available such information, unless complying with the request will
require programming or manipulation of data.
