    Re: Records request submitted to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office on April 18, 2022 1,
    seeking all communications between Sgt. William Poole and Amber Feller - Previous
    Determination
    Dear Mr. Montoya:
    This notice is provided on behalf of the Travis County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) in response
    to your request for public records, identified above. Your request seeks information that is subject
    to two previous determinations of the Texas Attorney General. In Open Records Letter Rulings
    OR2021-26631 (2021) and OR2021-36326 (2021), attached, the Attorney General’s Open
    Records Division determined the responsive records are excepted from required disclosure and
    may be withheld. As explained below, TCSO may continue to rely upon those prior rulings.
    In Open Records Decision 673 (2001), the Attorney General held a governmental body
    may decline to seek a new letter ruling and instead rely upon a previous determination of the
    Attorney General’s office when the following four prongs are met:
    1. the records or information at issue are precisely the same records or information that
    were previously submitted to this office pursuant to section 552.301(e)(1)(D) of the
    Government Code;
    2. the governmental body which received the request for the records or information is the
    same governmental body that previously requested and received a ruling from the
    attorney general;
    3. the attorney general’s prior ruling concluded that the precise records or information are
    or are not excepted from disclosure under the PIA; and
    4. the law, facts, and circumstances on which the prior attorney general ruling was based
    have not changed since the issuance of the ruling.
    Your request seeks the same records previously requested from TCSO. Letter Rulings
    OR2021-26631 and OR2021-36326 held that, except for basic information, these records are

    1
    Please note the request came in by email on Thursday, March 31, 2022. TCSO sent the requestor a cost estimate and
    notice that TCSO required a deposit of 100% before proceeding because the charges exceeded $100.00. The requestor
    made payment on April 18, 2022; accordingly, the request is considered received on that day. Please also note that
    payment has since been returned.

    excepted from disclosure and may be withheld under Section 552.108(a)(1) of the Government
    Code. Further, the same circumstances apply—the requested records continue to relate to an open
    investigation and TCSO continues to object to their release. As the same law, facts, and
    circumstances apply, we will continue to rely upon the previous determinations and withhold the
    requested information. Basic information will be released to you pursuant to section 552.108(c) of
    the Government Code.
    If you have any questions, please contact me at (512) 854-9642, or by e-mail at
    [email protected].

    Sincerely,

    Matthew Entsminger
    Assistant County Attorney
