Dear Ms. Hahn:

The Office of the Attorney General has received your request for a ruling and assigned your request ID# 390861.

After reviewing your arguments and the submitted information, we have determined your request does not present a novel or complex issue. Thus, we are addressing your claims in a memorandum opinion. You claim the Texas motor vehicle record information must be withheld from the requestor pursuant to section 552.130 of the Government Code. We agree the Texas motor vehicle record information is confidential in accordance with section 552.130 of the Government Code. Because you state you lack the technical capability to redact the information from the recording, you must withhold the entire recording pursuant to section 552.130.

For more information on the cited exception, as well as information on the rights and obligations of governmental bodies and requestors, please refer to open government information contained on the Office of the Attorney General website at www.oag.state.tx.us.
