If you are interested in learning more about public records and open meetings laws in Texas, you may wish to attend an open government seminar being held next week by the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas.
Participants will learn about what type of public notice is required for government meetings, the rules around accessing and copying public records, and the process for challenging a city, county or other governmental entity's decision to deny access to a record or meeting. Trainers are from the foundation and the attorney general's office and have expertise in the legal ins and outs of state sunshine laws.
The session is Sept. 9 at the Texas State Technical College, 1902 North Loop 499 in Harlingen. The program is presented around the state so if you can't make it to next week's presentation, be sure to watch for future sessions.
For more information and to register, see the foundation website.
The event is sponsored by the Valley Morning Star, The Brownsville Herald and The Morning Star.
