The topic then shifted to privacy, specifically the city’s use of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and the issue of council members text-messaging with lobbyists during debates and voting at City Hall. Private entities will often require city officials to sign NDAs to protect proprietary business data, site selections, financial projections, or trade secrets during preliminary talks. Proponents argue that NDAs prevent these private firms, or even competing cities, from exploiting active bid details before a deal is formally presented to the public or City Council. Under Texas law, NDAs cannot override the Texas Public Information Act (TPIA), which allows the public, media, and watchdog groups to file Public Information Requests (PIR) for information relating to the NDAs. It is then up to the Texas Attorney General to determine whether the information must be released despite the NDA. “NDAs should not be signed by a city employee or city officials, especially if you’ve been elected. The fact that that’s not already a thing is infuriating,” said Brock Skinner, candidate for District 3.
