Attorney General as to whether the City is required to release the requested information.
By copy of this letter, we are advising the requestor that the City wishes to withhold the

Re: City of Wichita Falls/Request for Public Information
Joshua Harman (10 + 15 Day Letter)
Dear Sir or Madam:
On August 13, 2013, the City of Wichita Falls received a request from Mr. Harman for certain
documents maintained by the Wichita Falls Police Department. A copy of the request is attached
as Exhibit 1. In all future correspondence with the City of Wichita Falls regarding this case,
please refer to it as "City ID #474."
The City seeks to withhold the release of information (Exhibit 2, 3a & 3b) pursuant to the
following exception of Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code (TGC):
TGC §552.101
Information Confidential by Law-Common Law Privacy
Section 552.101 of the GOVERNMENT CODE, excepts from required public disclosure information
considered to be confidential by law, either constitutional, statutory, or by judicial decision.
Pursuant to the Texas Supreme Court decision in Indus. Found v. Tex. Indus. Accident Bd., 540
S.W.2d 668, 685 (Tex. 1976), section 552.101 applies to information when its disclosure would
constitute the common law tort of invasion of privacy through the disclosure of private facts.
This exception encompasses the doctrine of common-law privacy, which protects information
that is:
(1) highly intimate or embarrassing, such that its release would be highly objectionable to
a reasonable person, and
(2) not of legitimate concern to the public.
[ ] Bracketed information has been redacted from the requestor copy of this letter.
Further, there is an accident report included in this request. As stated by Texas Transportation
Code, Section 550.065, in order to be released, the Requestor must specifically provide two out
of three details of the accident:
(A) the date of the accident;

HOSPITAL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. HE STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO SIGN SOME PAPERWORK SHOWING THAT THE
SAMPLES WERE RELEASED TO ME. I CONTACTED THE MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE TO INQUIRE ON HOW QUICKLY THEY
NEEDED THE SAMPLES, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND REPORT COPY. I NEEDED TO KNOW IF THEY NEEDED THE INFORMATION AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE OR WHEN THE NEXT BODY IS SHIPPED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED THE INFORMATION AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE SINCE IS NOT KNOWN WHEN THE NEXT BODY WOULD BE SHIPPED.
I WAS PLANNING ON DELIVERING THE REQUESTED INFORMATION AND SAMPLES TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE THIS
FRIDAY PER SGT. VAUGHN. LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNNON I WAS ADVISED THAT JUVENILE DETECTIVES WERE GOING TO THAT
LOCATION AND I COULD SEND THE ITEMS WITH THEM. I WENT TO THE CHEMISTRY LAB AT THE HOSPITAL AND SPOKE WITH
CRISTIN JUNE FLORENCE. SHE GATHERED THE SAMPLES FOR ME AND I SIGNED A RELEASE FORM FROM THE HOSPITAL. I
HAD HER MAKE A COPY AND IT WAS SUBMITTED TO RECORDS FOR IMAGING. I THEN TOOK THE BLOOD AND URINE SAMPLE
AND SUBMITTED IT INTO EVIDENCE. I ADVISED THEM THAT JUVENILE DETECTIVES WOULD BE GETTING IT IN THE
MORNING. I THEN GATHERED THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM ID TECH CALLAGHAN. I TOOK THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND A COPY OF THE
CRASH REPORT TO OFFICER WILDE AND OFFICER HENDERSON. I ADVISED THEM THAT THE BLOOD AND URINE WAS IN
PROPERTY AND IT WOULD BE READY IN THE MORNING FOR THEM TO PICK UP.
I WAS REVIEWING THE SUPPLEMENTS AND HAD SEEN THAT JOSHUA MARIANO HAD WITNESSED THE CRASH. I CONTACTED
MARIANO. MARIANO STATED THAT HE WAS SOUTHBOUND IN THE RIGHT LANE ON HENRY S. GRACE FWY AND HE OBSERVED THE
WHITE LEXUS ENTER THE FREEWAY FROM THE MIDWESTERN PKWY INTERSECTION. MARIANO STATED THAT HE WAS DOING
ABOUT 61 MPH AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM BY ABOUT 50-60 FEET. MARIANO COULD NOT TELL IF THE DRIVER WAS
MESSING WITH A CHILD OR SOMETHING IN THE BACK SEAT. MARIANO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE
AND THEN DRIFTED OFF THE ROADWAY AND CRASHED INTO THE GUARDRAIL. THERE WAS NO SWERVING OR BRAKING PRIOR TO
THE CRASH. MARIANO STOPPED TO ASSIST.
ON 071411 OFFICER PAUL HARPER RECEIVED A CALL FROM MIKE SPINK. SPINK WANTED TO GATHER SOME PERSONAL ITEMS
FROM THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED ID TECH WANG AND REQUESTED HER TO MEET US AT THE WFPD IMPOUND LOT AT 1000
HOURS. WE MET SPINK AND GATHERED THE ITEMS REQUESTED FOR HIM. ID TECH WANG PHOTOGRAPHED THE ITEMS PRIOR
TO US GIVING THEM TO HIM. SEE HER SUPPLEMENT.
OFFICER SANDY LAMB AND OFFICER JOE LEMOND WORKED THE CRASH REPORT AND DIAGRAMS. SEE THEIR REPORTS AND
SUPPLEMENTS. OFFICER PAUL HARPER SPOKE WITH SOME FAMILY MEMBERS AT THE HOSPITAL. SEE HIS SUPPLEMENT
REPORT. INFORMATION THAT WAS FAXED TO THE TARRANT COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICER WAS SUBMITTED TO
RECORDS TO BE IMAGED.
I CONTACTED THE COOKS CHILDRENS HOSPITAL TO CHECK THE STATUS OF LILYANNA. THEY ADVISED THAT SHE WAS IN
STABLE CONDITION AND SHE WAS DOING GOOD. THEY STATED THAT SHE WOULD BE GOING IN TO THE O.R. LATER TODAY
BUT WOULD NOT ELABORATE WHAT FOR. I INQUIRED ABOUT HER INJURIES, IN PARTICULAR, HER LEFT FOOT. THEY COULD
NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION ON THE CONDITION OR STATUS OF IT.

On 07-13-2011, I, Officer S. Lamb was dispatched to the 4000 block of Henry S. Grace Freeway in reference
to a one vehicle traffic accident involving two people with serious injuries. I responded to the location
and noticed numerous other emergency personnel on the scene.
I viewed a white 4-door Lexus bearing Texas license plate # RDD329. The vehicle had obviously been
traveling in the south bound lane of Henry S Grace Freeway and struck the guardrail located on the right
side of the roadway. The end of the guardrail had entered the driver's side door behind the left front
tire and traveled across the driver's seat. The guardrail continued through the two front seats and the
middle of the rear seat and coming to a rest in the trunk of the vehicle.
Debris from the guardrail and from the inside of the vehicle was scattered along the roadway and on the
side of the embankment. The driver and sole passenger of the vehicle were transported to the U.R.H.C.S
emergency room by AMR. Officers Harper and Newton, who had also arrived on the scene, left to conduct a
follow-up investigation and the hospital.
ID Tech Wang processed the scene. Officer Lemond and I secured the scene and took measurements for the
accident report (see case# 11-070705). Al's Wrecker Service towed the vehicle to the city's impound lot.
I spoke to (WI) Smelley who had been traveling behind, and for a short time, beside the white Lexus on
Henry S Grace Freeway. Smelley stated that he noticed that the Lexus was veering to the right while the
driver was turned around paying attention to something in the backseat. Smelley said that he could not see
what was in the backseat that was dividing the driver's attention. Smelley stated that he viewed the Lexus
strike the guardrail.

ON 071211 AT APPROXIMATELY 1320 HOURS I RESPONDED TO A CRASH AT HENRY S. GRACE FRWY AND HATTON RD. THIS
CRASH WAS A SINGLE VEHICLE CRASH. SEE RELATED CASE #11-070705. THE VEHICLE INVOLVED WAS A 2002 WHITE LEXUS

) - JUVENILE.
THE CRASH OCCURRED IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANE OF THE 4000 BLK OF HENRY S. GRACE FRWY. THE ROAD SURFACE WAS
CONCRETE. IT WAS PARTLY CLOUDY AND DRY AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE ROADWAY CONSISTS OF TWO DRIVE LANES
WITH A LARGE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE FRONTAGE ROAD IS CONSTRUCTED FOR ONE-WAY TRAFFIC, SOUTHBOUND. THE SPEED
LIMIT IS POSTED WITH A 60 MPH SIGN.
THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES AT THE SCENE. I SPOKE WITH TRUMAN SMELLEY FIRST. SMELLEY STATED THAT HE WAS
HEADED BACK TO WORK ON PROFESSIONAL DRIVE. SMELLEY WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON HENRY S. GRACE FRWY IN THE
RIGHT LANE AND STATED THAT THE OTHER VEHICLE CAME FROM THE ON RAMP AND SHE WAS GOING FASTER THAN HIM
BECAUSE SHE WAS PULLING AWAY FROM HIM. I POINTED BACK IN THE DIRECTION THAT THE VEHICLES WOULD HAVE BEEN
COMING AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE ON RAMP APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE BACK. SMELLEY BELIEVED THAT WAS THE ONE FROM
WHICH SHE CAME. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AT MIDWESTERN PKWY. SMELLEY STATED THAT HE WAS DOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND
SHE WAS AHEAD OF HIM. SMELLEY STATED THAT SHE STARTED VEERING OFF THE ROADWAY SO HE GOT INTO THE LEFT LANE
AND HAMMERED IT TO CATCH UP TO HER TO BLOW HIS HORN AND GET HER ATTENTION. SMELLEY STATED THAT HE THEN
SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WAS GOING TO DO AND SHE THEN STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL. SMELLEY
STATED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE DRIVER WAS TURNED AROUND MESSING WITH THE BABY OR SOMETHING AND THEN SHE
STRUCK THE GUARDRAIL. SMELLEY STATED THAT THE DOOR OPENED AND SOMETHING FLEW OUT. SMELLEY CHECKED ON THE
DRIVER FIRST AND HIS DAUGHTER, SHEENA COUFFER, SAW THE BABY SEAT AND SHE RAN AROUND TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS
LYING OUT THERE. SMELLEY STATED THAT THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE DID NOT BRAKE, OR JERK THE VEHICLE IN ANY
WAY. THE VEHICLE JUST VEERED OFF THE ROADWAY. SMELLEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE GOING AT LEAST 70
MPH. SMELLEY STATED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE DRIVER WAS TRYING TO GET THE KID BACK INTO THE CARSEAT OR
SOMETHING. SMELLEY STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS GROANING AND HE WAS TRYING TO KEEP HER CALM AND THAT HELP
WAS ON THE WAY. SMELLEY STATED THAT HE THEN TOOK SOME TOWELS OVER TO THE BABY TO HELP KEEP THE SUN OFF OF
HER.
I THEN SPOKE WITH SHEENA COUFFER. COUFFER STATED THAT SHE WAS TALKING TO HER DAD AND HE WAS DRIVING AT
APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. COUFFER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN FRONT OF
THEM AND STARTED GOING FASTER AND THEN IT JUST VEERED AND KEPT GOING. SHE STATED THAT HER DAD TRIED TO
CATCH UP TO THE VEHICLE TO GET THE DRIVERS ATTENTION BUT WHEN THEY CAUGHT UP THE VEHICLE HAD SLAMMED INTO
THE GUARDRAIL. COUFFER STATED THAT HER DAD STOPPED AND THEY RAN TO CHECK ON THE OCCUPANT. WHEN SHE SAW
THE BABY CAR SEAT SHE RAN TO THE OTHER SIDE AND LOCATED THE BABY. COUFFER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO JERKING
OF THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE JUST DRIFTED AND THEN CRASHED. COUFFER THOUGHT MAYBE THE DRIVER WAS FALLING
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. COUFFER COULD NOT SEE IF THE DRIVER WAS DISTRACTED WITH THE CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT.
COUFFER DID NOT REMEMBER SEEING ANY BRAKE LIGHTS FROM THE VEHICLE. COUFFER STATED THAT THE CAR SEAT WAS IN
THE CAR AND WAS NOT OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. COUFFER DID NOT KNOW IF THE CAR SEAT WAS FASTENED TO THE CAR.
COUFFER STATED THAT SHE CHECKED THE BABIES PULSE AND IT WAS REALLY WEAK. SHE STARTED RUBBING THE BABIES
BACK AND TALKING WITH HER AND THE BABY STARTED MOVING MORE AND GETTING LOUDER. HELP ARRIVED AND GOT THE
