Attn: Public Information Officer

Dear Officer for Public Records:

This request is made under the Texas Public Information Act, Chapter 552, Texas Government Code, which guarantees the public’s access to information in the custody of governmental agencies. I respectfully request a copy of the the following information:

1) A copy of an incident report or dispatch log or any other information allowable for public consumption that shows, details or reveals the Ennis Police Department making contact, responding to calls and/or interviewing any person, place or thing on 400 W. Baylor in Ennis, Texas on or before October/September of 2006;

2) A copy of any information allowable for public consumption that shows the Ennis officer and/or investigator assigned to, or in reference to, a call and/or contact/interview at 400 W. Baylor on or before October/September of 2006;

In the interest of expediency, and to minimize the research and/or duplication burden on your staff, I would be pleased to personally examine the relevant records if you would grant me immediate access to the requested material (exception due to traveling conflicts). Additionally, and since time is a factor, please communicate with me by telephone and e-mail rather than by mail. My telephone number is: 972-891-2135 or joeydauben@hotmail.com.

Disclosure of this information is in the public interest because providing a copy of the information primarily benefits the general public. I therefore request a waiver of all fees and charges pursuant to Section 552.267 of the act.

I shall look forward to hearing from you promptly, as specified in the law. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Joey Dauben
The Ellis County Press

Flashback: The Ennis PD has a history of covering up and protecting the identity of certain individuals and officials, so it’s not a stretch to maintain this line of questioning and/or thinking in regards to the Hellstern cover-up.
