The Zero Tracker is a public accountability tool documenting open records requests, unanswered questions, and governance items that voters deserve to see before they cast a ballot.
Public records belong to the public. When requests go unanswered, delayed, or closed without production, voters are left without the information they need to judge whether local government is operating with transparency and accountability.

Patrick’s Comment:
The Zero Tracker is the inventory of open records requests that have gone unanswered, dragged past statutory deadlines, or quietly closed without production. Bexar County voters deserve to see what is missing before they vote, not after. Patrick’s record is the alternative to the pattern this tracker documents.
Transparency should not require pressure from the public. Bexar County deserves leadership that answers questions, produces records, and makes accountability the default.
