§ 552.102. EXCEPTION:  PERSONNEL INFORMATION.  (a) 
Information is excepted from the requirements of Section 552.021 if 
it is information in a personnel file, the disclosure of which would 
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, 
except that all information in the personnel file of an employee of 
a governmental body is to be made available to that employee or the 
employee's designated representative as public information is made 
available under this chapter.  The exception to public disclosure 
created by this subsection is in addition to any exception created 
by Section 552.024.  Public access to personnel information covered 
by Section 552.024 is denied to the extent provided by that section.
	(b)  Information is excepted from the requirements of 
Section 552.021 if it is a transcript from an institution of higher 
education maintained in the personnel file of a professional public 
school employee, except that this section does not exempt from 
disclosure the degree obtained or the curriculum on a transcript in 
the personnel file of the employee.
