The University of Texas Permian Basin is committed to providing customer-friendly service when responding to requests for public information. Because UTPB and the 14 UT institutions are separate entities for purposes of the Texas Public Information Act (the Act), requests for documents must be submitted to the particular institution(s) from which you seek documents. A request to UTPB will only yield responsive documents resident at UTPB Campus. If you are seeking information located at several institutions, a request must be made to each institution and you will receive a separate response from each institution.
Under the Texas Public Information Act, each person is entitled to complete information about the affairs of government and the official acts of public officials and employees, unless otherwise expressly provided by law.
