OPINION
DIXON W. HOLMAN, Justice.
BACKGROUND
This is an appeal from the trial court’s denial of appellants Allen Hart and Ernie Williams’ petition for a writ of mandamus. We have jurisdiction over the appeal because an action for a writ of mandamus initiated in the trial court is a civil action subject to appeal as in any other civil suit. See Anderson v. City of Seven Points, 806 S.W.2d 791, 792 n. 1 (Tex.1991).
In August 1997, appellants served a public information request on appellee, 1 in which they requested a September 6, 1996 letter from H. Dustin Fillmore, an attorney, to Judge Gipson.…
