Dear Ms. Gambini:

You ask whether certain information is subject to required public disclosure under the Public Information Act (the "Act"), chapter 552 of the Government Code. Your request was assigned ID# 411232.

The City of Irving (the "city") received a request for information relating to pets and animals associated with a specified address or a named individual during a three-year time interval. We have reviewed the responsive information you submitted. You inform us the city will redact a Texas driver's license number from the responsive information pursuant to the previous determination issued under section 552.130 of the Government Code in Open Records Decision No. 684 (2009). ⁽¹⁾ Although you claim no exception to disclosure of the rest of the responsive information, you inform us a private party was notified of her right to submit comments to this office as to why the remaining information should not be released. See Gov't Code § 552.304 (any person may submit written comments stating why information at issue in request for attorney general decision should or should not be released). As of the date of this decision, this office has received no comments from the private party. Therefore, the city must release the remaining information to the requestor.

This letter ruling is limited to the particular information at issue in this request and limited to the facts as presented to us; therefore, this ruling must not be relied upon as a previous determination regarding any other information or any other circumstances.

This ruling triggers important deadlines regarding the rights and responsibilities of the governmental body and of the requestor. For more information concerning those rights and responsibilities, please visit our website at http://www.oag.state.tx.us/open/index_orl.php, or call the Office of the Attorney General's Open Government Hotline, toll free, at (877) 673-6839. Questions concerning the allowable charges for providing public information under the Act must be directed to the Cost Rules Administrator of the Office of the Attorney General, toll free, at (888) 672-6787.

Sincerely,

James W. Morris, III
