Houston-area bloggers, we have a venue for our blogger meet-up next week: The Coffee Groundz, 2503 Bagby, Houston TX 77006.

Date: Tuesday, April 14

Time: 5:30 p.m.

We'll be talking about how to file a public records request, a skill you may wish to apply to research for your personal blog. We'll have sample public records requests and be available to answer questions you may have.

Perhaps asking for public records is something you already do. Please come anyhow, and share your experiences with the group.

In honor of tax time, we'll be showcasing a handful of ways to mine public records for tax-related information.
