      <lex:model id="tx-records" jurisdiction="tx" jurisdictionName="Texas" reviewStatus="draft" method="gold-manual">
        <lex:gap>Texas has no deemed-denial rule in these sections. If a governmental body misses a § 552.301 deadline (asking the attorney general within 10 business days, sending the requestor the (d) statement and copy within 10 business days, or submitting the (e) materials and sending the (e-1) copy of comments within 15 business days), § 552.302 presumes the information public: it must be released unless there is a compelling reason to withhold it. Each of those timers is modelled as 'right-lapses' and routes to release_presumed_public, which rejoins production. The compelling-reason exception is not modelled as a branch.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>The four attorney-general steps are modelled in sequence (ask, inform the requestor, submit, copy comments) because sequential interrupting timers keep the model sound. The statute sets only outer deadlines and does not fix the order: (b) and (d) share the 10-business-day limit, and (e) and (e-1) share the 15-business-day limit.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>The attorney general's ruling, its deadline and any suit after it (§ 552.306 and later sections) are outside the sections used, so the attorney-general path ends at awaiting_ag_decision. § 552.301(f) is modelled by the prior_determination_public column: when the body previously requested and received a determination and the attorney general or a court held the precise information public, the body must release it and may not ask for a decision, so the rule falls through to production. On that row the table does not also test the (c) or (d) delay conditions. § 552.301(g) (asking for another decision after a suit) is not modelled.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>§ 552.301 speaks of a 'written request', while § 552.221(a) requires production 'on application by any person' without saying the application must be in writing. How requests may be submitted (§ 552.234) is outside the sections used. Under (a-1), a mailed request whose receipt date cannot be established counts as received on the third business day after the postmark. This affects every clock but is not a separate step.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>Delayed production (c), (d): both certifications use one step, certify_delay, reached through the delayed_production output. The statute requires the certification when production cannot occur within 10 business days but does not say by when the certificate itself must be sent, so no timer is attached. The 10-business-day deadlines in (f) and (g) state no consequence for missing them and are marked 'unstated'.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>Production methods (b), (b-1), (b-2): a URL referral is allowed only when the information is identifiable and readily available on the body's public website, and if the requestor prefers another manner the body must use (b). The production_method table encodes this with FIRST hit policy. The refer_to_url step carries the (b-2) duty: if the URL is sent by e-mail, the e-mail must state in a conspicuous font that the requestor may still inspect, duplicate or receive the information by mail. The statute does not require the referral itself to be by e-mail.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>Charges (§ 552.261): copies are charged at an amount covering materials, labor and overhead, but requests for 50 or fewer pages of paper records are limited to a per-page charge unless the pages are in two or more separate buildings or a remote storage facility (a, c). The requestor may require a signed written statement of the labor time, free of charge (b), and same-day requests from one individual may be combined for cost purposes (e). Charges accrue when the body advises that the copy is available on payment (d). Only mailed copies are modelled as requiring payment first; charges for copies made at the offices are not modelled.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>Withdrawal (§ 552.221(e)): the 60-day periods are stated as 'the 60th day', so the timers use calendar days. One runs from when the information is made available for inspection or duplication at the offices, the other from when the requestor is informed of the charges; both lead to request_withdrawn.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>Only some branches must be in writing: the no-information notice (f), withholding under a previous determination (g), the attorney-general statement (§ 552.301(d)) and the delay certificates (c), (d). The statute does not say whether ordinary production must be preceded by any written response.</lex:gap>
        <lex:gap>Submission to the attorney general (§ 552.301(e)): the body submits the (e)(1)(A) comments, a copy of the request, a signed statement or evidence of the receipt date, and a copy of the specific information or, for a voluminous request, representative samples; under (e)(2) that copy or those samples must be labeled to show which exceptions apply to which parts. These are modelled as one step under the 15-business-day deadline.</lex:gap>

===== What the text leaves open =====

  * Texas has no deemed-denial rule in these sections. If a governmental body misses a § 552.301 deadline (asking the attorney general within 10 business days, sending the requestor the (d) statement and copy within 10 business days, or submitting the (e) materials and sending the (e-1) copy of comments within 15 business days), § 552.302 presumes the information public: it must be released unless there is a compelling reason to withhold it. Each of those timers is modelled as 'right-lapses' and routes to release_presumed_public, which rejoins production. The compelling-reason exception is not modelled as a branch.
  * The four attorney-general steps are modelled in sequence (ask, inform the requestor, submit, copy comments) because sequential interrupting timers keep the model sound. The statute sets only outer deadlines and does not fix the order: (b) and (d) share the 10-business-day limit, and (e) and (e-1) share the 15-business-day limit.
  * The attorney general's ruling, its deadline and any suit after it (§ 552.306 and later sections) are outside the sections used, so the attorney-general path ends at awaiting_ag_decision. § 552.301(f) is modelled by the prior_determination_public column: when the body previously requested and received a determination and the attorney general or a court held the precise information public, the body must release it and may not ask for a decision, so the rule falls through to production. On that row the table does not also test the %%(c)%% or (d) delay conditions. § 552.301(g) (asking for another decision after a suit) is not modelled.
  * § 552.301 speaks of a 'written request', while § 552.221(a) requires production 'on application by any person' without saying the application must be in writing. How requests may be submitted (§ 552.234) is outside the sections used. Under (a-1), a mailed request whose receipt date cannot be established counts as received on the third business day after the postmark. This affects every clock but is not a separate step.
  * Delayed production %%(c)%%, (d): both certifications use one step, certify_delay, reached through the delayed_production output. The statute requires the certification when production cannot occur within 10 business days but does not say by when the certificate itself must be sent, so no timer is attached. The 10-business-day deadlines in (f) and (g) state no consequence for missing them and are marked 'unstated'.
  * Production methods (b), (b-1), (b-2): a URL referral is allowed only when the information is identifiable and readily available on the body's public website, and if the requestor prefers another manner the body must use (b). The production_method table encodes this with FIRST hit policy. The refer_to_url step carries the (b-2) duty: if the URL is sent by e-mail, the e-mail must state in a conspicuous font that the requestor may still inspect, duplicate or receive the information by mail. The statute does not require the referral itself to be by e-mail.
  * Charges (§ 552.261): copies are charged at an amount covering materials, labor and overhead, but requests for 50 or fewer pages of paper records are limited to a per-page charge unless the pages are in two or more separate buildings or a remote storage facility (a, c). The requestor may require a signed written statement of the labor time, free of charge (b), and same-day requests from one individual may be combined for cost purposes (e). Charges accrue when the body advises that the copy is available on payment (d). Only mailed copies are modelled as requiring payment first; charges for copies made at the offices are not modelled.
  * Withdrawal (§ 552.221(e)): the 60-day periods are stated as 'the 60th day', so the timers use calendar days. One runs from when the information is made available for inspection or duplication at the offices, the other from when the requestor is informed of the charges; both lead to request_withdrawn.
  * Only some branches must be in writing: the no-information notice (f), withholding under a previous determination (g), the attorney-general statement (§ 552.301(d)) and the delay certificates %%(c)%%, (d). The statute does not say whether ordinary production must be preceded by any written response.
  * Submission to the attorney general (§ 552.301(e)): the body submits the (e)(1)(A) comments, a copy of the request, a signed statement or evidence of the receipt date, and a copy of the specific information or, for a voluminous request, representative samples; under (e)(2) that copy or those samples must be labeled to show which exceptions apply to which parts. These are modelled as one step under the 15-business-day deadline.
