(May 2024) Request for Gaston County, NC Government: Current Oath of Office and Surety Bond for the District Attorney.
Good afternoon Dandria, Adam, Amia, Clerk of Superior Court, Travis, (or Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records),
Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **
Please provide the electronic copy of the current Oath of Office and Surety Bond (or the Surety Liability Insurance Policy) for Travis Page [Office of District Attorney, 325 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way Suite 2003 Gastonia, NC 28052].

Please note that by submitting this request, I’m NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it isn’t possible to process the request without incurring fees, then please let me know the itemized potential cost and clear explanations of those charges upfront, and DO NOT proceed until I respond.
By Law I’m not required to provide a name or address to associate with a public records request, but in order to move things along I’d like to clarify that this request is being made by:

Asheville, NC 28816
The request has been sent solely by me and my email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me.

Thank you for your message.
Related to your “Surety Bond (or the Surety Liability Insurance Policy)” — Melissa Pollard said on July 08 that she was “… not aware of any record of any Surety Bond that is retained in the Clerk of Courts office.”
Related to the copy of your “Oath of Office” — Melissa provided us with a copy of that document on July 03.
The records request you’re referring to was marked as “Completed” on our website on July 11, 2024:

In regard to the following request, which I submitted to your office / the County on May 20:
(May 2024) Request for Gaston County, NC Government: Current Oath of Office and Surety Bond for the District Attorney.I received your email above on July 3 @ 1:17pm containing the “Oath of Office” for Travis Page. Thank you for providing that document.
I did want to ask if you can please clarify why the “Surety Bond (or the Surety Liability Insurance Policy) for Travis Page” was not provided as I requested?
————–I received the additional file you sent related to a similar, but different, records request that I submitted separately about a District Court Judge. I will follow up with you about that request separately, on the correct email thread with Craig Collins.
Thank you.
