Texas Supreme Court

Greater Houston Partnership, Petitioner v. Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General; and Jim Jenkins, Respondents

June 29, 2015468 S.W.3d 51

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment that the Greater Houston Partnership is a governmental body under the Texas Public Information Act because it is supported in whole or in part by public funds. Justice Boyd's dissent argues that the statute’s language and the Kneeland test require a broader interpretation that includes the Partnership.
