Description

John J. Dominguez brought suit against Don A. Gilbert, Commissioner of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission ("the Department"), and Sharon Thompson, Director of Medicaid Program Integrity, Office of Investigations and Enforcement ("Medicaid Enforcement"), seeking a writ of mandamus to compel the release of documents requested pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act. See Tex. Govt Code Ann. 552.001-.353 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001) ("the Act"). Prior to a hearing before the trial court, the Department produced some of the requested documents but refused to produce others, asserting that they were confidential as a matter of law and therefore expressly excepted from disclosure under the Act. Following a hearing and an in camera inspection of the withheld documents, the trial court issued an order denying Dominguezs petition for writ of mandamus. We will reverse the order and remand the cause to the trial court.
