The public's right to know is vital to an accountable, citizen centered government. Government Code 552 (Texas Public Information Act) delegates the County's obligations to comply with a public information request. The Act is triggered by a written request to a governmental body (the county).
Upton County makes every effort to keep its citizens informed. To make a public information request, an individual must forward a written request to the following office:
Upton County Commissioners' Court, P.O. Box 482, Rankin, Texas 79778, (432)693-2321 ext. 2 cquigg@co.upton.tx.us
The request must include enough description and detail of the requested information so the County can accurately identify and locate the requested items. The County may access a reasonable charge for copies and under certain circumstances for access to the requested information.
