torney general to give written opinions to certain public offi-
cials. The Texas Open Records Act, Article 6252-17a, Sec-
tion 7, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, requires that a govern-
mental 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 required to be
summarized in the Texas Register.
