Texas Lt. Governor Patrick,

I need to make the following correction to the following sentence in my November 8, 2018-dated e-mail letter to you, with the correction appearing in ALL- UPPERCASE TYPE:

"I might add that in the period ever since early 2016, I have undergone three different doctor-ordered medical surgeries on myself inside hospitals here in Austin for life-threatening medical problems in my body relating to TWO OF THE three separate aneurysms THAT WERE FIRST IDENTIFIED IN MY BODY IN RECENT YEARS, AND TO MULTIPLE ABDOMINAL HERNIAS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN MY BODY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, that I had sustained to my cardiovascular system, DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, and/OR circulatory system."

Lt. Governor Patrick, I value having the best possible credibiIity for you in my capacity as a law-abiding, gainfully-employed, permanently teetotaling, single adult white British-and-German-American male constituent of yours here in Austin. I hope this clarification/correction is helpful to you.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.

Subject: 11-8-18 questions for Lt. Gov. Patrick Fw: INETMAIL: Lt. Governor Dan Patrick

November 8, 2018

Dear Highly-Esteemed and Honorable Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick,

I myself am a single-by-choice, longtime-celibate-by-choice (including on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since I moved to northwest Austin in August 2001), always-sober and permanently teetotaling, gainfully-employed, dependably civil and honest and law-abiding and anti-stalking-minded, anti-marijuana-minded, anti-cocaine-minded, lifelong-tobacco-free and anti-tobacco-minded, facially-cleanshaven and anti-facial-hair-minded, anti-profanity-minded, anti-tattoos-minded, anti-jewelry-on-men-minded, and anti-drinking-alcohol-minded white Anglo-Saxon American citizen and adult male constituent of yours. I might add that I myself am NOT a "recovering alcoholic", nor am I a "former alcoholic" or a "former drug addict". In fact, I have not consumed any drinking alcohol on any occasion since the late summer of 1990; and I have not consumed any quantity of marijuana on any occasion since the late fall of 1984. In my entire life, I have never at any time consumed any illicit drug other than marijuana.

As a former full-time employee here in Austin of the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles state agencies, I want to wish you and your State Government of Texas colleagues a very pleasant and healthful and prosperous Holiday Season.

Lt. Governor Patrick, would you please confirm for me in writing that the official e-mail address for you that I retrieved this week from my internet system computer records is still valid?

Also, I would appreciate learning from you as soon as possible whether you are aware of any State Government of Texas-sponsored entity, any State Government of Texas-monitored entity, any State Government of Texas-approved entity, any State Government of Texas-owned entity, or any State Government of Texas-authorized entity that is currently providing me inside my bolt-locked rental-apartment unit in Austin during my sleeping hours, as I lie alone on my own bed asleep and unconscious and probably also snoring, with any nasal-inhalant "medical" services, any oral-inhalant or oral-ingestion "medical" services, or any "medical" noise-infliction services involving any direct contact with my ears or my eardrums in any way, or any "medical" services that involve physical contact of any type with any portion of my own body under my waistline?

I am respectfully raising this question because, as you may already be very aware, I myself have never authorized any such "medical" services for myself that would be applicable at any time during my sleeping hours inside any rental apartment unit where I have ever resided here in this state capital city for Texas.


My understanding is it's a possible felony crime if anyone subjects an adult person anywhere inside the state of Texas to medical services that the latter individual did not authorize. Lt. Governor Patrick, would you please also confirm for me in writing that is the case?

I might add that in the period ever since early 2016, I have undergone three different doctor-ordered medical surgeries on myself inside hospitals here in Austin for life-threatening medical problems in my body relating to TWO OF THE three separate aneurysms THAT WERE FIRST IDENTIFIED IN MY BODY IN RECENT YEARS, AND TO MULTIPLE ABDOMINAL HERNIAS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN MY BODY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, that I had sustained to my cardiovascular system, DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, and/OR circulatory system. (This is the now-CORRECTED version of the paragraph of this type that I had hastily written for the original letter I e-mailed to Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick on November 8, 2018---jkm)

Finally, Lt. Governor Patrick, I need to pose one additional respectful question to you at this time:
Do you strongly support safe housing conditions, including safe sleeping conditions, for any and all Texas residents, including myself?

Thank you in advance for your helpful reply letter to me in response to these public-policy-minded questions from myself.


I feel sure that your reply letter will be very reassuring to me, particularly since I still vividly recall the day in the summer of 2001 when Travis County Civil Probate Division Director David Ferris volunteered to me on the telephone from his county-government office in downtown Austin --- this within days after I had moved in August 2001 from an efficiency apartment unit near UT-Austin to a rental apartment unit at Wind River Crossing Apartments, 11411 Research Boulevard, in northwest Austin --- that "There appears to be an attempt by numerous persons to drive you (John Kevin McMillan of Austin) out of the Austin area."

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan.
