OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Under provisions set out in the Texas Constitution, the Texas Government Code. Title 4,
402.042, and numerous statutes, the attorney general is authorized to write advisory opinions
for state and local officials. These advisory opinions are requested by agencies or officials when
they are confronted with unique or unusually difficult legal questions. The attorney general also
determines, under authority of the Texas Open Records Act, whether information requested for
release from governmental agencies may be held from public disclosure. Requests for opinions,
opinions, and open records decisions are summarized for publication in the Texas Register. The
attorney general responds to many requests for opinions and open records decisions with letter
opinions. A letter opinion has the same force and effect as a formal Attorney General Opinion, and
represents the opinion of the attorney general unless and until it is modified or overruled by a
subsequent letter opinion, a formal Attorney General Opinion, or a decision of a court of record.
You may view copies of opinions at http://www.oag.state.tx.us. To request copies of opinions,
please fax your request to (512) 462-0548 or call (512) 936-1730. To inquire about pending
requests for opinions, phone (512) 463-2110.
