(a) A record or other evidence acquired under a subpoena under this subchapter is not a public record for the period the commissioner considers reasonably necessary to:
(1) complete the investigation;
(2) protect the person being investigated from unwarranted injury; or
(3) serve the public interest.
(b) The record or other evidence is not subject to a subpoena, other than a grand jury subpoena, until:

(2) after notice and a hearing, a district court determines that obeying the subpoena would not jeopardize the public interest and any investigation by the commissioner.
(c) Except for good cause, a district court order under Subsection (b) may not apply to:

(2) the internal notes, memoranda, reports, or communications made in connection with a matter that the commissioner has the authority to consider or investigate.
