.@TXsecofstate claims it can withhold whatever it wants in response to my public records request re ES&S’s hash failure w/o describing the records withheld. This is not how it works in civil litigation where u must give a privilege log. Is it true under most public records laws? 
I’ll answer my own question. No, they cannot do what they did. But who is going to stop them? I’m not active and not licensed in Texas. I need a Texas attorney to help. 1/ texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/…
2/ “if the governmental body wishes to withhold particular information, it must establish that a particular exception applies to the information and must mark the records to identify the portion the governmental body believes is excepted from disclosure.”
3/ “Conclusory assertions that a particular exception applies to requested information will not suffice.”
.@kellyesorelle - can u help? This is unacceptable!
Here’s my written response to @TXsecofstate. I’ll send the same thing to Paxton, but he’s a crook so I’m not optimistic. This is a coverup of ES&S’s hash validation problems, and it is not okay. @EACgov is withholding information too.
