Charges for Public Information
The Texas Facilities Commission charges for copies of public information in
accordance with current laws and rules. If charges will exceed $40 or will
require programming or manipulation of data, the requestor is provided with a
cost estimate or statement as required by either Section 552.231 or 552.2615 of
the Texas Government Code, as applicable. The Texas Facilities Commission
regularly utilizes Section 552.267, which provides for waiver or reduction of
cost when in the public interest. Other governmental bodies are not charged for
information unless such a request requires extensive programming time.
Employees are not charged for their own employment records. The Texas Facilities
Commission generally waives charges of less than $20 to help ensure that members
of the public have broad access to clearly public information. Additionally,
individual members, agencies, and committees of the legislature are not charged
for information to be used for legislative purposes, as provided by Section
552.264 of the Texas Government Code. (Cost Policy eff.
