Since public records are the property of the State, all citizens have a right to their use. The Archives and Records management staff, as
curator of these public records, must ensure that records are available to the public to the fullest extent that is consistent with public
disclosure laws and with a reasonable regard for their preservation.

What is Records Management?

Records Management is the application of management techniques to the creation, use, maintenance, retention, preservation and disposal of records for the purposes of reducing the costs and improving the efficiency of recordkeeping. Records Managements designed to provide control over records from the time the records were created to the time of disposition. Since Carrollton-Farmers Branch is a state agency, all records are considered public records and should be maintained and disposed of according to the Texas Local Government Records Act (Title 6, Subtitle C, Local Government Code).
