Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of Texas heard the opening oral arguments for Paxton v. City Of Dallas. This Public Information Act Suit involves the issue of whether the City of Dallas acted within its legal right by relying on the attorney-client privilege as a “compelling reason” for withholding information in response to a PIA request past the required 10 day time frame for requesting an open records determination.
One of our associates was able to attend the opening oral arguments, and we’d like to share some of what they heard.

We will continue to monitor this important case and its implications for our clients who face open records issues.
