6. Compilations of criminal histories.

Tex. Att'y Gen. ORD-565 (1990) discusses whether an individual may be entitled to a special right of access to his own federal criminal history when it is in the hands of local government and stated that criminal history information in the hands of a local governmental body obtained from the National Crime Information Center must be released pursuant to section 3B of the Open Records Act if the only interest protected by withholding it is the privacy of the requestor.  Pursuant to § 552.023, a person or a person's authorized representative has a special right of access, beyond the right of the general public, to information held by a governmental body that relates to the person and that is protected from public disclosure by laws intended to protect that person's privacy interests. Also, all information contained in either an adult or juvenile's sex offender registration form and which is subsequently entered into the department of Public Safety database is public information and must be released upon request, except for the registrant's photograph, Social Security number, driver's license number, street address and telephone number, and any information that, on its face, would directly reveal the identity of the victim. Tex. Att'y Gen. ORD-645 (1996).
