Sec. 441.0945. DISPOSITION OF SCHEDULED RECORDS

(a) A county record may be destroyed if the record is listed on the records schedule and implementation plan accepted for filing by the director and librarian and either its retention period has expired or it has been microfilmed or stored electronically in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The director and librarian or a person on the staff of the director and librarian may reject the records schedule and implementation plan for a record if the retention period of the record as listed on the plan is less than the retention period for the record established by the county records manual. If the plan is rejected, the director and librarian or staff person shall file with the custodian the rejected schedule and a statement of the reasons for rejection not later than the 30th day after the date the director and librarian or staff person received the records schedule and implementation plan. If a schedule is rejected under this subsection, the custodian may submit an amended schedule.

(c) The director and librarian or a person on the staff of the director and librarian may condition acceptance of the records schedule and implementation plan on the transfer of a record listed on the schedule to the custody of the Texas State Library when the retention period for the record has expired.
