(12) information contained in or related to
examination, operating, or condition reports
prepared by, on behalf of, or for the use of an
agency responsible for the regulation or
supervision of financial institutions, and/or
securities, as that term is defined in the Texas
Securities Act;
(13) geological and geophysical information
and data including maps concerning wells, except
information filed in connection with an
application or proceeding before any agency;
(14) student records at educational
institutions funded wholly, or in part, by state
revenue; but such records shall be made available
upon request of educational institution personnel,
the student involved, or that student's parent,
legal guardian, or spouse;
(15) birth and death records maintained by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics in the State of Texas;
(16) the audit working papers of the State
Auditor;
(17) the home addresses and home telephone
numbers of peace officers as defined by Article
2.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1965, as
amended, or by Section 51.212, Texas Education
Code; [and]
(18) information contained on or derived from
triplicate prescription forms filed with the
Department of Public Safety pursuant to Section
3.09 of the Texas Controlled Substances Act, as
amended (Article 4476-15, Vernon's Texas Civil
Statutes).
Some of these exceptions are quite narrow, applying only to a specific
type of record or records held by a specific custodian. These include
sections 3(a)(6), 3(a)(8), 3(a)(9), 3(a)(12), 3(a)(13), and 3(a)(15)
through 3(a)(18). It is difficult to imagine how any of these
sections could apply to interviews obtained for historical purposes by
state institutions of higher education. These provisions may be
disregarded as they would not exempt records of oral history
interviews from public disclosure.p. 160
