The purpose of the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas is to encourage, sponsor and facilitate a greater appreciation, knowledge and understanding of the First Amendment. Working to ensure that the public's business is conducted in public, the FOIFT has successfully helped citizens access open meetings and documents that should be a matter of public record.



Since 1978, the Foundation's goal has been to educate media and legal professionals, educators, students, public and business officials and individual citizens about their rights and responsibilities as citizens in our democracy.
