      Please note, below, that the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, is currently seeking permission from the Attorney General of Texas to withhold from myself, public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan of Austin District 4, copies of recent e-mail correspondence between the local DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit and the Austin Police Department Sex Crimes Unit that each directly refer to myself by name.

The following is the exactly-quoted transcript of an attachment and an accompanying e-mail letter to me (next two documents, below) that I received today from the Travis County Attorney's Office in response to my October 5, 2019, e-mail public-information request (last item, below) to the Travis County District Attorney's Office. 

Please note that I added two parenthetical clarifications of my own: the word "footnote" was added by me in two different sections of the following letter that was sent to me as an attachment..

In my Oct. 5, 2019, PIR (I, John McMillan) had sought a copy of  "any and all e-mail communications between the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit and the Austin Police Department Sex Crimes Unit at any time since 8 a.m. January 3, 2017, that, in each and every such case, refer at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas."

To: Open Records Coordinator,
Travis County District Attorney's Office,
Open Records Division,
P.O. Box 1748,
Austin, TX 78767

October 5, 2019

Dear Open Records Coordinator,

This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications between the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit and the Austin Police Department Sex Crimes Unit at any time since 8 a.m. January 3, 2017, that, in each and every such case, refer at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.

My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. My date of birth is April 27, 1957. I am a native of Lincoln, Nebraska.

I have most recently resided here in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.

From October 1997 to October 1998, I worked full-time here in Austin for the Texas Department of Public Safety. My commanding officer in the Motor Carrier Bureau, Major Burroughs (sp?), advised me during a one-to-one meeting inside his office in 1998 that he had requested of me, to myself apply to work instead for the Attorney General of Texas state agency. Major Burroughs stated to me during that meeting that he believed I would be a better match for the Attorney General of Texas state agency than for the DPS. I did apply for employment with the Attorney General, but never received an employment offer from that state agency here in Austin. I was never fired from my job with the DPS. I left that position after I submitted my resignation there.

I myself do not have any criminal-conviction record.

Among the insights I hope to glean from this public-information request are:

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit in regard to whether I have been and continue to be a victim of alleged continuous, daily-and-year-round sex crimes and other personal-injury-crimes allegedly being perpetrated on me during my sleeping hours on a nightly basis as I lie or lay alone, asleep and unconscious, on my own bed inside my bolt-locked rental apartment unit in Austin?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office in regard to which unauthorized "medical-services provider" has allegedly been illegally subjecting me against my wishes to nasal inhalants and oral inhalants and liquids during my sleeping hours as I lie alone on my own bed inside my bolt-locked apartment in Austin?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office in regard to whether the alleged nasal inhalants to which I have been subjected against my wishes during my sleeping hours inside my bolt-locked apartment unit have allegedly played a role in myself being held unconscious while being subjected to alleged sex crimes and alleged personal-injury crimes  during my bedtime hours inside my bolt-locked apartment unit?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit in regard to what the time-deadline-related requirements and other legal requirements are, if any, for investigating and prosecuting a rape case that has been determined to be a continuous-and-still-continuing sexual-assault case?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County District Attorney's Unit in regard to what prompted the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States Government to provide me with an "intake" interview on the telephone with a female FBI staff member on Monday, September 23,  2019, in regard to APD Case 16-1340923, with that telephone interview having concluded politely at 10:30 a.m. September 23?

---Has there been any other dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit in regard to the currently-active APD Sex Crimes Case 16-1340923 in which I am the cited victim and complainant?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit in regard to whether at least one additional DNA-trace forensic rape-evidence medical exam on myself should or could be ordered by APD in the very near future?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit in regard to whether there is a need for full 180-day or 190-day retroactive DNA-trace processing on each of the two total existing DNA-trace rape-evidence kits that were obtained from me by APD on April 28, 2011, and December 22, 2011, respectively, for APD Cases 11-1180447 and 11-3550615?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit in regard to whether it would be legal and justifiable for either the City of Austin or Travis County Government or the Federal Bureau of Investigation or a State of Texas agency to provide temporary 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-per-week electronic surveillance of the entire interior of my current apartment unit --- an efficiency rental unit in which I myself am the ONLY current official tenant and the ONLY current official occupant?

---Has there been any dialogue between the APD Sex Crimes Unit and the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit in regard to what the possible point or points of illegal entry by a law-breaking trespasser into my current bolt-locked and fully-secured rental apartment unit might be or is or are at present, and whether there is some way to use technology available to either APD or the District Attorney's Office here in Austin to clearly identify the alleged points of entry being used by alleged trespassers allegedly breaking into my own current always-bolt-locked rental unit?

---Is there any evidence that any person currently employed in the APD Sex Crimes Unit or the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit has indicated or stated that he or she does not believe my own repeated factual statements to APD and to the DA's office over a multi-year period about my being a longtime celibate, permanently-drinking-alcohol-free, permanently illicit-drug-free, law-abiding and honest single adult gentleman who ALWAYS sleeps alone on my own bed inside my bolt-locked apartment unit in Austin?

---Is there any evidence that any person currently employed by the APD Sex Crimes Unit or the Travis County DA's Office Sex Crimes Unit has indicated or stated that he or she senses or has concluded that my own credibility as a criminal-law complainant and self-identified crime victim here in Austin has somehow been undermined or harmed?

Thank you in advance for your very diligent and helpful reply letter providing me with any and all responsive legal documents.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan.
