Course Information
Did you know that email, internet posts, instant messages and text messages are all subject to open records requests? Do you know how to handle a request if you receive one? When is it safe to destroy certain records?
This basic course in records management will help Texas County Tax Assessor-Collectors and their staff members understand public information requests, rights of requestors, responsibilities of response to such requests, and the records management duties of the county tax office.
A certificate of completion for one hour of continuing education credit awarded by the V.G. Young Institute of County Government, a part of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, will be available after successfully completing the course material. This course is approved for CE credit by the Tax Assessor-Collectors Association of Texas.
