TCEQ Records Services: Request Records from Our Central File Room

Our Central File Room provides storage, maintenance, and access to key agency records, plus file retrievals for the public and agency staff, and arranges for copy service. We have a viewing area, microfilm and microfiche reader/printers, photocopiers, scanners with e-mail capabilities and a full-service customer request counter.

When you require access to public records for:

File reviews
Large volume copy requests
Duplication and/or certification of agency records

Please Note: If you wish to submit an Open Records Request (under the Texas Public Information Act) or if your request is for any and all documents, current applications, ongoing compliance or enforcement actions or records that are NOT available in the Central File Room, see Open Records Requests.

Once an Open Records Request is placed, it is not necessary to request records through the Central File Room.

Our Central File Room maintains only a certain percentage of the agency's records and all other records are kept in our various program offices. Customer service staff will assist in retrieving records currently checked out by program staff. In addition, customer service staff will assist in giving you program-area contacts for any records we do not maintain in the Central File Room.
