Body Worn Camera Access
Summary
In Texas, individuals have a special right of access to information about themselves under §552.023, which can override privacy exceptions. If a governmental body misses the 10-day deadline to request an Attorney General decision, the information is presumed public under §552.302. For body-worn camera footage, timelines may reset upon clarification requests as per Art. 2B.0113. To assert your rights, clearly state your position, reference applicable statutes, and address any non-privacy exceptions. Consider consulting a legal professional for detailed guidance on statutory interpretation and to strengthen your case.Full Conversation

Hi ****! It seems like you're looking for guidance on how to respond regarding a legal issue. Could you clarify what specific assistance you need, or which part of the document you need help with?
On Aug *, *, PfISD Legal Services confirmed my request (#*-*) for BWC footage, warned it is generally confidential, and asked if I wanted an AG ruling. I clarified the video involved me, only adults were present, and I consented to lawful redactions, requesting submission to the AG. On Aug *, I amended the request to include copies. On Aug *, I objected that PfISD missed the *-day deadline in §*.*, making the footage presumed public under §*.*, and cited my special right of access under §*.*. Counsel replied Aug * that timelines reset when I clarified and cited Art. 2B.*. I restated my rights, referenced active Case #*, and cited Art. 2B.*(b) for subject access. On Sep *, counsel disputed that §*.* applies to BWC, said I misquoted Art. 2B.*, and claimed §*.* may bar release. PfISD continues to await the AG ruling despite clear statutory violations.
