CHAPTER I11. EXECUTIVE
ADMINISTRATION DIVISION
SUBCHAPTER C. COST OF COPIES OF
PUBLIC INFORMATION
Current through February 28, 2006
§ 1 11.61. Purpose
(a) The Texas Building and Procurement
Commission (the "Commission ") must:
(1) Adopt rules for use by each governmental body
in determining charges under Texas Government
Code, Chapter 552 (Public Information) Subchapter
F (Charges for Providing Public Information);
(2) Prescribe the methods for computing the
charges for copies of public information in paper,
electronic, and other kinds of media; and
(3) Establish costs for various components of
charges for public information that shall be used by
each governmental body in providing copies of
public information.
(b) The cost of providing public information is not
necessarily synonymous with the charges made for
providing public information. Governmental bodies
must use the charges established by these rules,
unless:
(1) Other law provides for charges for specific
kinds of public information;
(2) They are a governmental body other than a state
agency, and their charges are within a 25 percent
variance above the charges established by the
Commission;

(3) They request and receive an exemption because
their actual costs are higher; or
(4) In accordance with Chapter 552 of the Texas
Government Code (also known as the Public
Information Act), the governmental body may grant
a waiver or reduction for charges for providing
copies of public information pursuant to §552.267
of the Texas Government Code.
(A) A governmental body shall furnish a copy of
public information without charge or at a reduced
charge if the governmental body determines that
waiver or reduction of the fee is in the public
interest because furnishing the information
primarily benefits the general public; or
(B) If the cost to the governmental body of
processing the collection of a charge for a copy of
public information will exceed the amount of the
charge, the governmental body may waive the
charge.
