Sounds like the city of Corpus Christi is having some trouble making public records public, according to a story and analysis in the Caller-Times.

From the story by Sara Foley:

The city took 15 days to comply with a Caller-Times request for a copy of its policy for fulfilling public information requests. The same request, submitted to the cities of San Antonio and Lubbock, was a same-day turnaround.

All three policies were requested under the state's Public Information Act, which guides government entities on the release of public information and spells out the public's right to that information ...

The city's Public Information Act policy, developed by the city legal department within the past year, requires a review by city lawyers of all requests, no matter how routine, and sets up a series of approval steps among city officials before requestors receive the information.


Make sure to check out the statistical breakdown the Caller-Times did about records requests to the city.
