Tex. Loc. Gov't Code § 203.050 · Subchapter C. RECORDS CONTROL SCHEDULES
INSPECTION OF PERMANENT RECORDS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The director and librarian or the authorized representative of the director and librarian is entitled to inspect in the offices of any local government or elected county officer the condition of any permanent record to which access by the director and librarian or the representative is not restricted by law. The inspection is not a release of a record to a member of the public under Chapter 552, Government Code.
(b) The director and librarian, in writing, shall bring to the attention of the governing body or elected county officer, any aspect of the storage, handling, or use of the record that imperils its survival and state what measures must be taken to properly care for and preserve the record.
(c) If, after having been notified by the director and librarian as provided by Subsection (b), the governing body or the elected county officer fails to take required measures to preserve the record, the director and librarian may:
(1) if the record is an obsolete record whose creation is no longer required by law, demand and receive delivery of the record to the custody of the commission; or
(2) if the record is required for current use by the local government, make copies of the record for the purpose of preservation by the commission.
(d) The cost of transferring or copying records under this section shall be paid for out of funds of the commission.
