The OAG serves both members of the public and governmental bodies in protecting open government under the PIA, and this site includes resources for both groups.

The OAG works to ensure governmental bodies in Texas remain open and accountable to the people they serve because open government elevates the public to their proper role as partners in leadership with governmental bodies.

The OAG strives to ensure the public and governmental bodies have the tools they need to foster this partnership.

The OAG prepares, distributes, and publishes rulings and other materials to maintain uniformity in the application of the PIA.

While government information is presumed to be available to the public, exceptions may apply to the disclosure of some information.
