Mr. McMillan,

The Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division (TWCCRD) enforces the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and age. Complaints filed with TWCCRD are dual-filed with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) so it is not necessary to file with both the state and federal agencies. Although the complaints are filed with both agencies, only one will conduct an investigation. Employment complaints filed with TWCCRD must be filed within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory act.

The situation you have described below and the information you are requesting are both outside the jurisdiction of TWCCRD. As such, you would need to contact your local district or county attorney to determine the answers to your inquiries. TWCCRD does not enforce or has jurisdiction over criminal statutes.

Thank you,

Robert

Robert Gómez, Director
TWC Civil Rights Division

Be of Good Cheer!

Subject: 3-25-09 query re: verbalized death threats to someone at his workplace in TX

Dear Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division Director Gomez in Austin,

I would appreciate a reply E-mail letter or signed reply letter from you, clarifying for me whether it is, in fact, flagrantly and very offensively illegal and an outrageous violation of state or federal law, for any person or group of persons to verbalize a death threat to someone (myself, for instance) at his own workplace during working hours for himself.

Also, what is the criminal-law penalty to any person or group of persons or any media company that or who are ever found guilty at any time of having subjected anyone (myself, for instance) at his own workplace to any verbalized death threat or any verbalized death threats at any time (such as might occur in a context featuring profane speech by the person or persons verbalizing that death threat against someone at his workplace).

Mr. Gomez, I look forward to receiving your reply letter about this very important civil-rights and human-rights and legal-rights issue for myself and many others.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a teetotaling and permanently-alcohol-free and anti-alcohol, permanently illicit-drug-free and anti-drug, lifelong-tobacco-free, psychologically healthy, disease-free and HIV-negative and hygienic, facially cleanshaven, tattoo-less, intellectually talented, honest and conscientious, consistently civil and consistently vigilant and consistently law-abiding (I have no criminal-conviction record, as I'm sure your Texas Workforce Commission state agency is already very aware), gainfully employed, polite, clean-talking, single adult gentleman. I might add that I am also a single gentleman who will myself insist on asserting my legal right to file a legal complaint against any employer or any work supervisor of mine, if applicable, that ever at any time permits any "background media services" provider or any "media services" provider operating at my own workplace, or anyone in person, for that matter, to repeatedly and on numerous occasions (or even on one occasion, for that matter) subject myself, John Kevin McMillan, at my workplace during working hours for myself, to ANY "anonymous verbalized death threat" against myself or any other form of verbalized death threat against myself.
