(A respectful FYI to each of you civic leaders and government officials on the following very recent legal correspondence involving the Attorney General of Texas (OAG), the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, and myself, public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas. My home phone number: (512) 342-2295. My e-mail address: mcmillanj@att.net. My current home address: Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 1609, Austin, TX 78759.
With three minor exceptions, the body of the January 22, 2019, OAG letter directly below is exactly the same as the body of the courtesy carbon-copy of the two-page hard-copy signed legal letter that I received by U.S. Postal Service mail delivery this Thursday, January 24, 2019, to my apartment unit's designated mailbox in northwest Austin.
Those three exceptions, each of them in the second paragraph directly below, are: insertion of the clarifying phrase "November 28, 2018-dated, e-mailed public-information" in parentheses, immediately before the word "request"; insertion of "see below" immediately after the word "request"; and, later in that same paragraph, insertion of my own full legal name and my current city and state of residence in parentheses immediately after the first reference to "the requestor".
As a convenience to each of you, I have also chosen to include (see last item, below) the full exact verbatim text of my November 28, 2018, e-mail public-information request to the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas.---jkm)

Dear Mr. Cox:
The Office of the Attorney General ("OAG") received the enclosed complaint from John Kevin McMillan alleging the Travis County District Attorney's Office (the "district attorney's office") is overcharging for copies of public information under the Public Information Act (the "Act"), chapter 552 of the Government Code. The complaint was assigned ID# 753295.
The district attorney's office received a (November 28, 2018-dated, e-mailed public-information) request (see below) for e-mail communications between named individuals referencing the requestor (John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas). The district attorney's office provided the requestor an estimate in the amount of $103.50. The requestor believes the charges are excessive.
Pursuant to section 552.269(a) of the Government Code, the district attorney's office is required to respond to the following questions in writing within ten business days after the date you receive this letter:
1. How did the district attorney's office determine the number of personnel hours necessary to produce the responsive information? Please describe the process in a step-by-step manner, stating the time each step will take. If a sample test was performed, please provide a brief description of the results of the test.
2. How did the district attorney's office determine the number of programming hours necessary to produce the responsive information? Please describe the programming in a step-by-step manner, stating the time each step will take as well as the qualifications of the individual performing the programming.
3. Does the information requested exist in paper form, electronic form, or both? Please explain which records exist in paper form, and which exist in electronic form.
4. Where are the records physically located? If the records are in two or more separate buildings, please provide a simple map showing the location of the buildings, including thoroughfares.
5. Will any information be redacted from the records? If so, what information will be redacted, and will the redaction be done manually, electronically, or a combination of both? Please state which exceptions to disclosure apply and if the district attorney's office plans to seek a ruling for the requested information.
For your convenience, you may access the 2018 Public Information Handbook at https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/og/open-government.

Dear Travis County District Attorney's Office Open Records Requests Administrator in Austin, Texas,
This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications that respective high-ranking officials Don Clemmer, Gregg Cox, Dayna Blazey, Mike Lummus, Beverly Matthews, and Dexter Gilford of your Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, have each written or received at any time since January 3, 2017, and that, in each and every such case, referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin.
EXCLUDED from the scope of this public-information request are any and all written communications that were exclusively and solely written by myself, John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin.
I am a gainfully-employed, permanently-drinking-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, single adult Anglo male resident of the same county government precinct---precinct 3---in which Travis County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty resides. Mr. Daugherty, a Republican, reportedly is the primary county commissioner who officially represents me on the Travis County Commissioners Court.
On September 14, 2018, I received a surprising E-mail letter from Travis County Assistant County Attorney Ann-Marie Sheely. That letter directly stated to me in writing for the first time ever that County Commissioner Daugherty's office in recent years sought and obtained legal advice from attorneys of the Travis County Attorney's Office in regard to myself.
That disclosure to me was offered in the context of an official September 14, 2018, signed legal letter submitted by Ms. Sheely to the Attorney General of Texas on behalf of Commissioner Daugherty, a copy of which was provided to me by Ms. Sheely. Her legal letter sought official permission from that state agency for County Commissioner Daugherty to withhold from me records of those legal consultations his office had had with the county attorney's office in regard to myself.
On April 27, 2015, a birthday for me, I was interviewed in person at your Travis County District Attorney's Office by two DA's Office "Critical Incident Unit" investigators, Lt. Roger Dean and Sergeant Jose Ballesteros.
On September 26, 2014, I signed for and received inside the Balcones Post Office along Jollyville Road in northwest Austin a certified-delivery official September 23, 2014-dated, signed legal letter on official Travis County District Attorney's Office letterhead that was directly addressed to me.
That letter was written and signed by Travis County Assistant District Attorney Rob Drummond. That official DA's Office letter addressed to me directly cited "your complaint of December 18, 2013, regarding the conduct of the Austin Police Department."
That same certified-delivery legal letter to me from your DA's Office in Austin also stated, among other things, that "Our inquiry revealed that APD continues to maintain the evidence gathered on December 22, 2011. In addition, they have noted that the Travis County District Attorney's Office has requested the said evidence continue to be maintained. This resolves our inquiry. As we explained to you, the decision as to how to utilize investigative resources in a sexual assault allegation falls within the purview of the Austin Police Department. Therefore, we believe our involvement in this matter is concluded and our office will take no further action.
"Sincerely,
"Rob Drummond
"Assistant District Attorney
"Travis County".
My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska.
I have resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.
I am a former full-time employee here in Austin of the "Texas Department of Public Safety" state law-enforcement agency. I am also a former full-time employee here in Austin for the "Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles" and the "Texas Department of Criminal Justice" state agencies, respectively.
I am also the founder and only current approved member of a new and non-Christian and implicitly-deistic "Honor Society" religion --- a religion publicized on local community-access television throughout the greater Austin area around the turn of the century. Several persons in the Austin area have told me they either dislike my religion intensely or do not regard it as comprising an actual or true religion.
That religion of mine is anti-drinking-alcohol and anti-tobacco and anti-marijuana, anti-medical-marijuana, anti-facial-hair-minded, anti-tattoos-minded, opposed to anonymous communications that are inflicted on someone against his wishes, opposed to deliberately fraudulent communications, anti-noise-pollution-minded, anti-thought-control-projects-minded, and anti-stalking, and also adamantly opposed to sexual assaults.
My religion, the "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", has very stringent membership-eligibility guidelines.
During the time period applicable to this public information request, I myself resided as an official rent-paying tenant or official rent-paying occupant at the following apartment units:
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 9, Apt. 902, Austin, Texas, 78759, the home address for me from late September 2015 until early September 2017.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 16, Apartment 1609, Austin, Texas, 78759, the home address for me ever since early September 2017, including at present.
I hope to hear from you soon in response to this public-information request from myself.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you sense that you might have to charge me more than $20 in administrative fees you expect to incur from processing this public-information request from myself.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, a former resident of the Boston area of Massachusetts who is myself a certified direct descendant of the Rev. William Brewster---the great Puritan religious leader who served as Head Chaplain on the Mayflower and as an adviser to Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford in what is now the U.S. Commonwealth or state of Massachusetts.
My current home address: Village Oaks Apts. (a NW Austin apartment complex reportedly owned by a highly-regarded for-profit corporation that's headquartered in Newton, Mass.), 10926 Jollyville Rd., Bldg. 16, Apt. 1609, Austin, Texas, 78759.
