PipkinsReports.com is posting a collection of audio and video files released by the City of Fate in response to a formal Open Records Request submitted by a private resident of Fate.

Pipkins Reports was not the requesting party. The materials were obtained from the resident who filed the request under the Open Records Request. Since we have a server able to handle such large files, in the interest of transparency, we are making the files publicly available in a single location.

These files are posted exactly as we received them. We have made no edits, no cuts, no redactions, and no alterations of any kind. The content, format, filenames, and timestamps remain unchanged from the versions we received. Furthermore, these files represent the entirety of the files we were provided in association with the open records request. We are not withholding any files that were released by the city.

Under the Texas Public Information Act, government records are presumed to be public unless an applicable exception applies. The City of Fate released these materials in response to that statutory request.

Pipkins Reports has not independently verified whether any redactions were made by the City prior to release. We are not asserting any conclusions regarding the content of these recordings. The files are provided for public review in their entirety.

Readers are encouraged to review the materials directly and reach their own conclusions based on the full record.

Note: Some of the files are in Video Format, but contain only audio. This is how they were provided to us.
