You have a right to look at or get a copy of the information that DHS keeps in a designated record set about you, except as stated in subsection (b) of this section. DHS may refuse to let you look at or get a copy of the information, either with or without giving you a chance for a review of DHS’s decision. To ask for information under subsection (a) of this section, contact the DHS office that grants your license, certificate, or permit, if you receive a license, certificate, or permit from DHS, your local office, if you are served by one or more DHS programs, or the DHS Privacy Officer in writing at Texas Department of Human Services Y-994, P.O.
