§ 30.038 PUBLIC RIGHT OF ACCESS.
   (A)   Members of the public shall have the right to see, review, examine, and take copies, in any format maintained by the county, and subject to § 30.999(B), of all county governmental records designated as “public” under the provisions of this subchapter and of the Act and any policies and procedures developed hereunder.
   (B)   The county has no obligation to create a record or record series in response to a request from a member of the public, if the record requested is not otherwise regularly maintained or kept.
   (C)   When a record is temporarily held by a custodial county agency, pursuant to that custodial agency’s statutory and ordinance functions, such as records storage, investigation, litigation, or audit, the record shall not be considered a record of the custodial agency for the purposes of this subchapter. The record shall be considered a record of the agency or agencies which usually keeps or maintains that record and any requests for access to such records shall be directed to that agency or agencies, rather than the custodial agency, pursuant to procedures established by the county.
