Public Records Request
Public Records Request
In Texas, there are two laws that make most government documents available to citizens. The Texas Public Information Act (PIA) requires state and local governments to make information public. The federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires the federal government to do the same thing. Citizens do not need lawyers to use these laws. The PIA and FOIA make information public, but there are some exceptions.

You can request documents or information from any government agency, like school districts, police departments, cities, or counties. The PIA request, however, can only be used for Texas state government. To request information from the federal government, use the FOIA request.

The government is not required to release some information. For example, a school district can only release information about a child to the child’s parent. The police cannot release information about ongoing investigations. If someone has threatened to sue the government, the government may withhold information until the lawsuit is over. The federal government may withhold information related to national security.

You can request documents using the form below or you can send a letter describing what your want to the City Secretary at P.O. Box 910 Navasota, TX 77868.

Response will be made within ten (10) business days of date of request, unless records are not easily accessible, whereby the City shall notify requestor when the records will be available.

There is copy charges of $0.10 per page unless there are more than fifty pages, in which case the City has the right to charge $15.00 per hour for labor. The City may require a deposit or bond if the estimated charge for producing copies of the requested records exceeds $100.00.

Please contact the City Secretary with any questions at (936) 825-6408.
