 | | Informal opinions are issued to local governments at the request of the attorney for the local government, who is the municipality's chief legal officer. | | | Opinions are issued in response to requests by state agency officials and local government attorneys. | | | Opinions issued to the municipal attorney are denominated "informal" because it is ultimately the responsibility of the municipal attorney to provide advice to the local government. |

| | Opinions of the Attorney General are issued under the authority of KRS 15.025. | | | Opinions of the Attorney General (OAGs) do not have the force of law, but they are persuasive and public officials are expected to follow them. | | | We strive in our opinions to explain the legal issues and the law as it existed when the opinion was written so that a person reading the opinion can on his own update the legal research described in the opinion. |

| | Opinions of the Attorney General are advisory, and do not have the same effect as decisions of a court of law. | | | The first two digits of each opinion indicate the year it was issued (I99 indicates it was issued in 1999), and the next three digits sequentially number the order in which the opinions were issued. | | | For example, I99-003 would be the third opinion issued in 1999. |

| | Opinions are written only at the request of certain state officials, called "authorized requestors." The Texas Government Code indicates to whom the Attorney General may provide a legal opinion. | | | Once requested to write an opinion, the Attorney General must interpret existing law in accordance with all applicable statutes and the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Texas. | | | Most opinions are issued within 180 days of the request, but the amount of time required may vary, depending on the volume of research required and the number and length of commentaries and briefs received. |

| | No merit is found in any of the attorney's assignments of error, and since the record supports the finding that the attorney in the instant case made such statements, the conclusion that he violated Rule 8.2 and the concomitant sanction imposed for such violation by a three-judge court are affirmed. | | | The defamatory statements were not opinion, the claim was timely and properly plead and proven, and actual malice was shown by clear and convincing evidence, but the trial court failed to consider factors in evidence relevant to the compensatory damages award. | | | The Court of Appeals did not err in affirming a conviction for larceny on the grounds that the asportation element of that crime may be imputed to one who acts through an innocent agent. |
