Under provisions of the Texas Public Information Act, please provide all records (including paper, emails, faxes, or any electronic files) that document:
(A) the Governor’s official pre-approval of a deployment schedule and mission goals for Operation Jump Start as mandated by the MOU of June 2 and referenced in the Governor’s press release of June 30.
In other words, if “Texas’ goal was to have 500 troops deployed by the end of June”; and if “missions will be pre-approved by DoD and the Governor”; then please produce all documents involved in the Governor’s pre-approval of mission goals that included “500 troops deployed by the end of June.”
(B) subsequent involvement by the Governor’s office or designees in deployment schedules, troop levels, or authorization of orders referenced in the Governor’s press release of June 30.
In other words, if “Texas has activated more than 700 Texas Army National Guard troops and more than 300 Texas Air Guard troops under Operation Jump Start orders”; and if “National Guard troops operating in Texas as part of Operation Jump Start will remain under Perry’s command”; then please provide the documents through which the Governor orders the activation of 1,000 Texas citizens to the border mission, apart from pre-approval.
