Honorable Clerk Burgess:

Under the Texas Public Information Act, Tex. Gov’t Code §552.001 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to inspect or obtain copies of public records that were created due to the arrest of Mary Anne Oliver-Snow.  She was charged with felony manslaughter in January of 2021.  I am interested in any voice recordings she was involved in that were generated by the investigation.  According to some sources, you have a recording of her admitting she pulled the trigger.  As always, electronic copies are preferable.

If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me if the cost will exceed $100.  The Texas Public Information Act requires that you “promptly produce” the requested records unless, within 12 days, you have sought an Attorney General’s Opinion.  If you expect a significant delay in responding to this request, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies or the ability to inspect the requested records.

If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely,

Robert T. Oliveira
