question about school report cards for non-custodial parents

I know there is a law which allows a non-custodial parent to have
access to school records, however, we contacted my husband's
daughter's school district and they claim everything must be done in
person. The information we found on a father's right website stated
that this request could be sent by mail, and honestly, we can't even
afford a darn trip, much less to just go to the school and request the
records.

Does anyone here have information on this? The school district is
Grand Prairie, Texas...

Thanks!

In regards to "access" and how it is defined, make it clear: you will
pay for postage and you will pay reasonable costs.

Also, how are those records sent to custodial parents. If it's being
sent to them through the mail, you have as much of a right to the same
courtesy being extended to you.
