What this law does
An individual who finds that the information the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board collected on a form or through electronic media and holds is incorrect has a right to have the agency correct the information. The individual has no right to change information that was correct when it was submitted but is no longer correct. The agency must acknowledge receipt of a correction request within 10 days from receiving it.
If the agency determines that the information in an electronic record or form is incorrect, it must enter the correction into the record at or near the place where the incorrect information appears, with the date, the reason for the correction, who requested it and who made it. The agency must notify the individual of its determination and, if it corrected the information, give the requestor a copy of the corrected information.
The agency may not charge or bill a requestor for correction of an incorrect record. The subchapter implements section 559.004 of the Government Code, on an individual's right to correction of incorrect information. In the subchapter, the agency is the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Sections 1.96 to 1.99 were adopted to be effective .
