TX Attorney General Opinion Request. Open Records. Criminal Backgrounds.

Requestor: Texas Board of Nursing

Question for the Office of Attorney General to answer: Can criminal records be disclosed during licensing issues because CHapter 411 of the Government Code has been amended since the previous OAG opinion GA-0919?

The reason to pay attention to this opinion:

• it has a broader contained question that could impact for all state agencies: Is there a duty on agenices about disclosure of criminal records in either Section 411.075 or 411.0765, Government Code.
