All requests for public information must be submitted in writing by hand delivery, mail, or email, and must be addressed to:

Public Information Officer
Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council
1801 Congress Ave, Ste. 7.300
Austin, Texas 78701
Open.Records@bhec.texas.gov

Requests for public information sent to agency staff other than the Public Information Officer will not receive a response.  Only written requests to the Public Information Officer trigger the Council’s obligations under the Public Information Act.  Requests made via telephone will not receive a response.

Individuals requesting public information may utilize the official Texas Public Information Act Information Request Form, a fillable PDF form available for download by clicking here.  Use of this form is not mandatory.

A request for public information should be for documents or other information that is already in existence.  The Council is not required to answer questions, perform legal research, or comply with a continuing request to supply information on a periodic basis as such information is prepared in the future.
