B&D Sponsoring, Speaking on Texas Public Information Act at ACC Houston's Environmental Practice Group CLE Lunch

On September 21, Laura LaValle (Office Managing Principal, Austin) and Maddie Boyer (Principal, Austin) will present at ACC Houston's Environmental Practice Group CLE Lunch on the topic, "Texas Public Information Act 101: Protecting Your Company’s Confidential EHS Information from Disclosure," at Xochi in Downtown Houston. Laura and Maddie will be joined by Carlos Moreno (Senior Counsel, The Dow Chemical Company). Lunch will be provided.

Companies are often required to submit confidential corporate information to comply with environmental, health, and safety programs administered by the State, obtain permits, and defend enforcement actions.  That information is frequently sought by third parties, including other companies, environmental groups, and the media.  Our speakers will provide an overview of the Texas Public Information Act (“PIA”).  We will include practical tips for maximizing protection when submitting information to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or other State entities and defending against a third-party PIA request.

CLE credit will be provided in Texas. Registration is available here.

Please contact Elena Baer with questions. Valet parking is available at the restaurant.
