AUSTIN – Officers who protect Gov. Rick Perry on out-of-state trips cost taxpayers more than $129,000 for his 12-day trip to Asia in June, according to figures obtained by The Associated Press on Monday. Lawyers for the state have fought to keep secret the details of Texas Department of Public Safety security costs for Perry's trips. The DPS did release totals for expense categories – such as airfare, hotels and overtime – for Perry's trip to China , Taiwan and Korea after the AP requested them under the Texas Public Information Act.
