The City of Houston was slapped with an attorney fees bill of $1,213,000 for dragging its feet on a Texas Public Information Act request for a decade.

The judgment, made public last week, is the result of a public information request filed in 2004 by death row inmate Larry Edgar Estrada through his attorneys at the Mayer Brown firm. The documents were relevant to Estrada’s petition to federal court for writ of habeas corpus.
