Dear HHSC state agency Open Records Coordinator in Austin,
This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from your state government agency a copy of any and all written communications, including memoranda and records and written findings and letters and e-mail communications, and any and all telephone records, that were each generated or written or received or sent or forwarded or FAXed or mailed by your state agency's Office of the Ombudsman at any time since April 17, 2011, and that, in each and every such case, refers or refer at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan, a rent-paying official apartment tenant in northwest Austin.
Among the questions in response to which I hope to obtain factual information from your state agency are:
--Does your state agency have any record of any "home medical services provider" or "home health-care services" provider that has had, or has claimed to have, a "professional services relationship" of any type with myself?
---Is there any evidence that I myself have been subjected to any "medical services" during my sleeping hours (with myself unconscious at the time) inside any of my rental apartment units that were and are, in fact, medically harmful to me?
--Is there any evidence that I myself have been subjected against my wishes to nasal inhalants and oral inhalants and liquids poured into my mouth and noise pollution inflicted on my eardrums during periods when I was and am, in fact, sleeping alone on my own bed inside my locked rental-apartment unit in northwest Austin?
--Is there any evidence that any "medical services provider" operating in Texas has ever allegedly or possibly subjected me during my sleep to "sleep-interruption-infliction services" and "sleep-deprivation-infliction-services" that I very definitely DO NOT WANT and HAVE NOT AUTHORIZED?
---Has any employee of any state agency in Texas or any State of Texas-sponsored institution allegedly or possibly violated my own privacy rights inside ANY of my rental apartment units in Austin, Texas, or in any context outside of my rental apartment units?
My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska.
I have resided in Austin proper in this capital city of Texas on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.
I am a gainfully employed, psychologically healthy, dependably civil and law-abiding and honest and law-enforcement-minded and vigilant, fully ambulatory, disease-free, single-by-choice, longtime-celibate-by-choice, permanently drinking-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, permanently illicit-drug-free, facially-cleanshaven, consistently clean-talking (no profanity by me in my everyday conversations with others), non-sadomasochistic and anti-S&M-minded, jewelry-less, and lifelong-tattoo-less Anglo gentleman of English, Scottish, and German ancestry.
I am also the founder and only approved member of a new and non-Christian fully-independent religion, the Progressive Prohibitionist Religion, that has very stringent membership-eligibility requirements. My one-member Progressive Prohibitionist Religion opposes anonymous communications violating the privacy rights of the recipient of those communications; opposes fraudulent or injurious or harmful "medical" services; opposes fraudulent or deliberately false or slanderous or libelous "information services" or "communications services"; opposes verbal harassment involving profanity; opposes verbalization of death threats; opposes thought-control projects; opposes personal-injury-crimes; opposes sex crimes; opposes sexual harassment; opposes home-invasion crimes; opposes the felony crime of stalking; and opposes medically-injurious continuous noise pollution.
Throughout the entire period ever since April 17, 2011, I have maintained the same e-mail address and home phone number for myself of "mcmillanj@att.net" and (512) 342-2295, respectively.
During the brief period from July 29, 2015, through late September 2015, when I resided in a room of my own at a Crossland Economy Studios rental-housing facility in far northwest Austin as a rent-paying official apartment-unit tenant, I also cited a home phone number for myself at that Extended Stay America facility of (512) 331-4747.
In the period ever since April 17, 2011, I have resided at the following respective addresses:
Wind River Crossing Apartments, 11411 Research Boulevard, Apt. 325, Austin, TX 78759;
Crossland Economy Studios, 12621 Hymeadow Road, Apt. 133, Austin, TX 78729;
Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 9, Apartment 902, Austin, TX 78759;
and, most recently, Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 16, Apartment 1609, Austin, TX 78759.
Included in the scope of this public-information request is the reply e-mail note (below, please see entire text of that note) that an official of your Office of the Ombudsman, Ms. Hester Brown-Hempel, wrote and sent to me on November 27, 2017.
That November 27 reply note from Ms. Brown-Hempel of your state agency directly stated to me, and I quote:
"Your request has been forwarded to a complaint resolution specialist for further consideration and response. An Ombudsman staff member will contact you when the issue has been resolved or if further information is needed.
"The tracking number to your question is A11272017.0130053."
To this day, I myself have not received any reply note from any official of your state agency that clearly states to me in writing which specific issue that I had myself apparently previously cited to your government agency in 2017 was the issue to which Ms. Brown-Hempel referred in her November 27 reply note to me.
I hope to hear from you soon in response to this public-information request from myself.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.
My apartment unit address ever since September 5, 2017:
Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 16, Apartment 1609, Austin, TX 78759.
My home phone: (512) 342-2295.

Subject: Re: McMillian, John - Question- A11272017.0130053
Dear Distinguished and Very Influential Ombudsman for the "Texas Health and Human Services Commission" (HHSC) state agency,
Thank you for your reply note to me this morning in response to a cited question from myself contained in a recent e-mail I sent to your state agency.
I hope you won't mind my pointing out that the subject heading of your reply letter to me contained an incorrect spelling of my last name. The correct spelling of my last name is "McMillan".
Would you please clarify for me in writing the question of mine in regard to which your Ombudsman Office of the HHSC is preparing a written response, along with the cited date and time and subject heading of the applicable recent e-mail letter of mine that prompted your e-mail reply to me this morning?
Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply note to me on this.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.
