Tracker

Open Records Tracker

Open public-information requests and records identified as needed to answer the questions tracked on this site.

This tracker covers two different things: open requests and records that have only been identified as needed. Request lifecycle describes where a request stands in its handling process. It is separate from evidence status, and receiving some records does not mean a request is complete.

Filed or sent public-information requests

4 Laguna Vista requests filed by Julie + 1 Port Isabel request sent by Julie. 5 requests listed. No source documents or download links are published in this tracker. The City Manager is the chief administrative officer and officer for public information, responsible for release. The City Secretary is the processing and delivery office.

Status last verified October 29, 2026

Displayed ages and timing counts are measured through October 29, 2026. Since the September 20, 2026 snapshot, no additional responsive records have been received for any open request listed below. No request is documented as complete. Earlier partial production remains described in the individual entries. ORR-2026-155 remains listed separately with timing not evaluated.

Public-information timeliness

Five requests are listed.

No request is documented as complete in the reviewed source set. ORR-2026-155 timing is not evaluated yet.

Two Laguna Vista requests have passed the 10-business-day written-notice checkpoint.

The checkpoint requires written certification and a reasonable availability date when records cannot be produced; it is not an automatic production deadline.

Timing evaluated for ORR-2026-101 and ORR-2026-135; ORR-2026-138 and ORR-2026-155 await date verification. Port Isabel remains unevaluated until certified-mail delivery or agency receipt is documented.

Timing counts are measured through October 29, 2026. The checkpoint does not itself establish a violation.

Texas Government Code § 552.221(a) requires prompt production, meaning within a reasonable time without delay. Section 552.221(d) says that if information cannot be produced within 10 business days, the public-information officer must certify that fact in writing and set a date and hour within a reasonable time when it will be available. The 10-business-day point is a written-notice checkpoint, not a universal production deadline.

WRITTEN COMPLIANCE GAP
Statutory checkpoint: 10 business days
The Town's stated July 15 production target passed. The production remains incomplete, and no later specific date and hour for the remaining records is documented.
Delay explanation
The Town initially cited volume and later said Finance still owed documents. No current complete-availability date is documented.
Documented complete-availability date
None documented
Calendar days elapsed are shown for public tracking, not as overdue days. The statutory checkpoint is measured in business days.
Known gap
6 requested record categories remain unresolved
Production measure
16 files received
Administrative lifecycle
Partial production — follow-up open
Unresolved items
1. April 30 reporting, trial balance, and supporting schedules
2. Bank and cash-to-ledger reconciliations
3. Fund-balance classifications and rollforward
4. Reserve calculation, funding source, transfers, and authorization
5. Fund-balance, reserve, financial-management, and minimum-reserve policies
6. Journal entries and interfund-transfer schedules
The exact percentage cannot be calculated because the production does not map each file to each requested category.
File counts are not completion percentages. Administrative milestones do not measure document completeness. Calendar days elapsed are measured through October 29, 2026.
Public summary
Sixteen files were received after payment. The Town later described the production as partial and said additional Finance records were still being gathered. A follow-up remains unresolved. No additional files have been received since the September 20 tracker review. The earlier 16-file production remains partial, and the six listed record categories remain unresolved.
Next step
Classify each outstanding category as produced, not maintained, outside scope, or withheld under a cited exception.
Current lifecycle: Partial production — follow-up open. Evidence status: PARTIALLY DOCUMENTED. These labels describe different things.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS UNDER TEXAS LAW
Who is legally responsible
Victor Treviño, City Manager
- Texas Government Code § 552.201 makes the governmental body’s chief administrative officer the officer for public information.
- Section 552.204 makes that officer responsible for the release of public information.
- The processing office may handle delivery, but that does not transfer the statutory responsibility.
Your right to prompt production
Section 552.221 requires public information to be produced promptly—within a reasonable time, without delay.
Your written-notice right after 10 business days
If the information cannot be produced within 10 business days, § 552.221(d) requires written certification of that fact and a date and hour within a reasonable time when the information will be available.
This is a written-notice checkpoint, not an automatic ten-day production deadline.
Agency charter connection
The Charter identifies the City Manager as the Town's chief administrative officer.

COMPLIANCE NOT ESTABLISHED
Statutory checkpoint: 10 business days
A completion notice was issued and five PDFs were later received, but the remaining scope has not been classified and no agency-issued complete production manifest is verified.
Delay explanation
No documented explanation resolves the remaining scope or provides a date for complete production.
Documented complete-availability date
None documented
Calendar days elapsed are shown for public tracking, not as overdue days. The statutory checkpoint is measured in business days.
Known gap
At least 2 central issues remain unverified
Production measure
Five PDFs inventoried; no agency-issued complete production manifest verified.
Administrative lifecycle
Production received — completeness under review
Unresolved items
1. A complete final project and finance-plan record set
2. The calculation or source support for the reported approximately $28 million
File count does not establish completeness. Completeness remains under review because the received records have not been fully reconciled to the request scope.
File counts are not completion percentages. Administrative milestones do not measure document completeness. Calendar days elapsed are measured through October 29, 2026.
Public summary
A later production contains five substantive PDFs after an initial delivery issue. The record set is under completeness review; the complete project-and-finance-plan materials and support for the reported approximately $28 million have not yet been verified. No additional files have been received since the September 20 tracker review. The five previously inventoried PDFs remain under completeness review; no complete production manifest has been verified.
Next step
Obtain a complete production manifest and the missing or incomplete plan materials.
Current lifecycle: Production received — completeness under review. Evidence status: PARTIALLY DOCUMENTED. These labels describe different things.
