Houston Community College ordered to pay more than $291,000 in open records request dispute
Texas law requires public institutions to promptly produce public records no later than 10 business days from receiving a public information request or seek an opinion from the Texas Attorney General. Hall asserted it took the college more than two years to turn over records he requested.
