Re: Request for answers to questions and/or Freedom of Information Request for prompt access[/b]
Commissioner Danaher,
To save time and conserve DPS resources, I previously asked the following questions from a Lt. in your department and acknowledge are he was not required or mandated by law to answer.
A simple timely response could have avoided my having to submit this letter/request.

From: Ed Peruta
To: Hall, Doug
Cc: 'Rachel M. Baird'
Sent: Tue Oct 13 10:25:46 2009[/b]
Subject: Request for Information
To Whom It May Concern:
Attention: Lt. in charge of the Special License and Firearms Unit[/b]
This request is for information regarding the recent mailing of letters to individuals who received authorization numbers and DPS-3-Cs.
How many letters were sent out regarding missing DPS-3-C forms since October 1, 2009?
How many DPS-3-Cs were unaccounted for at the time DPS mailed the letters?
How many authorization numbers are involved with the letters sent?
What is the oldest authorization number where no DPS-3-C was submitted?
When did the situation regarding these missing DPS-3-C forms become known to DPS?
Did DPS receive any DPS-3-Cs that were not properly accounted for upon receipt? (Example: Sept. 12, 2008 fax from Fred Valente)
Has a new letter replaced the one recently sent out to individuals?
Must authorization numbers be obtained and DPS-3-C forms submitted for PRIVATE sales of Long Guns?
[/b]
