Pursuant to your request, we have searched our files and have found no responsive documents. Please be advised that Sections 306.003 and 306.004, Government Code, provide that records of a member of the legislature or of the lieutenant governor that are composed exclusively of communications or memoranda of communications (which has been ruled to include calendars, schedules, telephone logs, etc.) with residents of this state and of personal information concerning the person communicating with the member or lieutenant governor are confidential by law, and public disclosure is prohibited to ensure the right of citizens of the state to petition state government without fear of harassment, retaliation, or public ridicule.  Therefore if documents as described in Section 306.003 and 306.004 exist, they have been withheld. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions regarding your request. Respectfully, Patsy Spaw Patsy Spaw Secretary of the Senate P.O.
