The Texas Supreme Court has declined to review a lawsuit involving Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) and the public release of certain phone records.

This decision concludes the legal battle the district initiated to keep the records confidential.

The dispute began when a local media consultant, a former reporter, requested access to the cell phone logs of ten individuals associated with the district.

The request was made under the Texas Public Information Act, which mandates public access to certain government records.

FBISD objected, citing privacy concerns and the sensitive nature of the communications.

The Texas Attorney General had previously ruled that the phone logs were public records, with personal calls redacted to protect privacy.

The district disagreed with this ruling and appealed, arguing that releasing the records could expose sensitive information.

The Court’s decision not to take up the case effectively affirms the lower court rulings and the Attorney General’s decision to release the records. This ruling underscores Texas’s commitment to governmental transparency and the public’s right to access certain public information.

FBISD was represented by legal counsel who argued that some communications could involve sensitive matters that should not be publicly disclosed.

However, the appeals court upheld the Attorney General’s decision, emphasizing that the district did not provide a compelling reason to withhold the records.
