| (a) Not every application will qualify for a MPDZ Exemption.
The Texas Film Commission (TFC) is not required to act on or approve
any application. All decisions by the TFC are final and not subject
to review.
(b) If the Comptroller receives written notice from
the Nominating Body or the TFC that a qualified person was not entitled
to a MPDZ Exemption or was entitled to a lesser amount than an approved
application received, the Comptroller shall investigate that determination
and provide a written response to the Nominating Body that concludes
either that the approved application may have or may not have received
unauthorized tax exemptions. If the Nominating Body and the Comptroller
agree that an approved application may not have been entitled to a
tax exemption, they shall promptly notify the qualified person, the
appropriate taxing authorities, and the TFC.
(c) The TFC division of the Office of the Governor
is a state agency and must comply with the Texas Public Information
Act (PIA). In the event that a public information request related
to the Requestor and/or an application is submitted to the agency,
the Office of the Governor will promptly notify the Requestor of the
request if current contact information is available, take all appropriate
actions with the Attorney General of Texas to prevent release of confidential
information, including asserting exemptions under the PIA, and provide
the Requestor with full information and opportunity to participate
in such process if current contact information is available.
