m6UE ATTORNEY
3126 ENE LArticle 4399, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, requires the at-
torney general to give written opinions to certain public
officials. The Texas Open Records Act, Article 6252-17a,
Section 7, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, requires that a
governmental body which receives a request for release of
records seek a decision of the attorney general if the
governmental body determines that the information may be
withheld from public disclosure. Opinions and open records
decisions issued under the authority of these two statutes,
as well as the request for opinions and decisions, are re-
quired to be summarized in the Texas Register.
Copies of requests, opinions, and open records decisions
may be obtained from the Opinion Committee. Attorney
