    certificate suspended, inscribed reprimand and non-inscribedreprimand.

    If any of the requested records are maintained electronically,

    I seek access to them in an electronic format. If they exist inan electronic, searchable, database-readable format (such as.csv, .xls, ..hst, txt or .dbf files), I request access them tothat in that searchable format.

    Also: I wish to come to your offices to inspect the non-electronic records in question before any copies are madefor me. If that is not possible for some reason, I ask that youperform no work on my behalf, copying or otherwise, until Ican be given an estimate of the charges involved and agree

    to them.

    I also ask that I be allowed to access these recordspiecemeal, as they are gathered and can be made available,instead of waiting until all the requested records aregathered. As asserted by Texas law, in the case of an appealfor any part of this request does not justify the withholdingof the other documents that are not part of that appeal.

    Please communicate with me by telephone or e-mail ratherthan by mail. My telephone number is 832-303-9420. Youmay also reach me via e-mail [email protected].

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

    Sincerely,

    Steve Miller
