The Public Information Act Required Posting
The Public Information Act Required Posting in SPA

The Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) gives the public the right to request access to government information. The request must ask for information already in existence. The TPIA does not require Two Dimensions Charter to create new information, perform legal searches, or answer general questions.

Your request must be in writing, delivered in person, sent by U.S. mail, fax or e-mail. Under the Public Information Act, only written requests trigger the District’s obligation to provide a response. 

By mail or in person to:

Two Dimensions Preparatory Academy Charter

Public Information ℅ The Superintendent's Office

12121 Veterans Memorial Drive Suite 7 

Houston, TX 77067

By email: Public Information Act Request

By Fax: 832-323-0032

The written request should include enough description and detail about the desired information to enable the district to accurately identify and locate the information requested. A governmental body may ask a requester to clarify a request for information if the request is unclear. 

The officer for public information must “promptly” produce public information in response to an open records request. “Promptly” means that a governmental body may take a reasonable amount of time to produce the information, but may not delay. What constitutes a reasonable amount of time depends on the facts in each case. The volume of information requested is highly relevant to what constitutes a reasonable period of time.

Section 552.222(b) provides that if a large amount of information has been requested, the governmental body may discuss with the requestor how the scope of the request might be narrowed, but the governmental body may not inquire into the purpose for which information will be used.

Section 552.222 also provides that a request for information is considered withdrawn if the requestor does not respond in writing to a governmental body’s written request for clarification or additional information within 61 days.

Two Dimensions works to meet information requests in compliance with state and federal laws. To the extent possible, requests are handled in the order they are received. By law, Two Dimensions has 10 business days to determine whether or not to see the Texas Attorney General's opinion and ruling regarding information that may be excepted from public disclosure.
