http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/320551895

The Criminal Justice Division (CJD) of the Texas Governor's Office administers state and federal grant funds awarded for criminal justice, crime prevention, law enforcement, special courts and prosecutors, juvenile justice, and victim service projects. The Criminal Justice Division maintained these files to document public information requests received and responded to by the division. Types of records in this group include correspondence, agenda, notes, audio cassettes, memoranda, meeting files, and related materials that document the Criminal Justice Division of the Texas Governor's Office. Dates range from 1995 to 1999. Records are incoming letters, outgoing responses, staff memos, copies of documents requested, and photocopy charge forms. Not all documents sent out to the requester are present in the files. In the requests from 1995 to 1998, copies of most of the outgoing replies are present with the majority signed by the executive director of the CJD. Some are signed by program directors within the CJD or by an assistant general counsel, usually Donna Garcia Davidson. The files from 1999 generally do not contain a copy of the outgoing reply, but instead contain a memo, usually to Jim Hines, an assistant general counsel, stating what the request was and to whom it was assigned. The incoming public information requests are present. Copies of documents requested are sometimes present. The incoming requests were sent either to the CJD or to Governor Bush requesting information maintained by the CJD. The folder titles contain the name of the requester and the date of the request. The topics of request include details of guidelines and funding for programs administered by the CJD, grant applications and awards, budget narratives, and audit reports.
