Houston County Sheriff's Office & The Request for Open Records

Image
 As a volunteer of The Legal Eagle we often times need to do a records request.   On September 22, 2024 I made a formal request in writing by certified mail to the Houston County Sheriff's department.  I allowed the department time to receive my letter and I allowed them 10 business days to gather my request and have them mailed to my address that was provided.  In the following 10 business days I did not receive a reply letter, email or phone call from the Houston County Sheriff's department at all.  It is almost as if I was being completely ignored by the offices of the Houston County Sheriff's department in whole.  What is that old saying, if you don't see it then it's not there?

The Struggles of Getting a TSBCI Loan in East Texas As a new business, we are always looking for a business loan or grant to help our business grow.  The other day I was taking some time to watch Matthew Leslo on YouTube.  He was discussing the numerous grant and loans that are available to small and disadvantage business owners and he was telling me about the Department of Treasury and that is when I came across the TSBCI loans.  Apparently, according to Matthew Leslo the government sets aside approx. 15,000$ to each American every year.  So we wanted to do a little investigation to find out if it is true.    You can visit Matthew Leslo's You Tube channel by clicking here! So I visited the Department of Treasury website and I emailed the government so that I could find out where the billions of dollars that is being set aside to help business owners progress in East Texas and I was mailed a flyer of a list of banks who are participation is the TSBCI loan p...
