right to request access to government information. The request must ask for
information already in existence. The TPIA does not require Coastal Bend College to create
new information, perform legal searches, or answer general questions.
Additional information about requests can be found in Coastal Bend College Board Policy

review the Coastal Bend College website. The information you are seeking may be available
