Public Information Requests

The Texas Public Information Act gives the public the right, under most circumstances, to request access to information created by government entities.  As the Records Management Officer of the City, the City Secretary oversees all requests for public information and is responsible for coordinating with all departments to ensure that requests for information are processed in a timely manner in accordance with the Texas Public Information Act.  The Act allows up to 10 business days for the City to produce records or respond to a request for information, but we strive to do so as quickly as possible.  In order to expedite the processing of your request, please ensure that the request is clear and detailed.

The following methods may be used to request information:

  • Submit your request in person at the City Secretary’s Office located in City Hall, 305 Miller’s Crossing, Harker Heights, TX 76548 or at the Harker Heights Police Department located at 402 Indian Trail, Harker Heights, TX 76548 for police related records.
  • Submit your request through our City Information Portal.
    This is the preferred method and ensures that request can be properly routed, as well as ensuring that the request does not get blocked or filtered by the City's email server.
     
  • You may also click to download the Public Information Request Form to submit your request by mail at the following address:

    City Secretary's Office
    Attn: Records
    305 Miller's Crossing
    Harker Heights, TX 76548

PLEASE NOTE:  Only requests received by the City of Harker Heights using one of the methods listed above is considered a formal request for information.  Requests received by other means may not receive a response in accordance with Section 552.234 of the Texas Government Code.
