Relating to access to certain law enforcement, corrections, prosecutorial, and civil enforcement records under the public information law.

HB 4565 amends Texas law to clarify when certain law enforcement, corrections, prosecutorial, and civil enforcement records may be withheld from public disclosure under the Public Information Act. The bill adds four specific exceptions: records that could interfere with investigations, records from cases without conviction, threat information against officers, and attorney work product (including mental impressions or legal reasoning). These exemptions apply only to records requested on or after September 1, 2025. The bill directly affects law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and the attorney general’s office by defining new categories of records they may withhold from the public.
