The purpose of the open records request is to force them to a 10 day timeline to answere my question. Previous attempts have not been responded to at all. If they do not repond within the prescribed time frame I can file charges on their designated information officer at the DA's office. They have had my application for 45days and have not began to process it as of yet. The question I asked will force their hand to prove they have not followed GC 411.176. Read if you are not familiar with its content. My next step is to find others like me and file suit. When General Clarke addresed the sunset committee a couple of weeks ago he was asked if any pending litigation existed. He stated no. That is about to change. News flash, they are required to follow the statutes and underfunding and/or incompetence will not be an acceptable excuse. Of course you do have a right to continue to do nothing and accept things exactly the way they are.

I have spoken to my Rep, Senator, Texas Riffle Association Lobbyist and Simone about the delays and the theme is they have ineffectively managed the whole process. I have resorted to sending Open Records Requests the CHL Bureau. So now if they do not answer my questions in a timely manner I can file charges on them. Search Texas Open Records Act for guidelines and send one of your own. They consider the delays an inconvenience rather than a blow to civil liberties. A right delayed is a right denied! I am open to any other tactics.
