(Please note: Final item, below, is my November 15, 2019, e-mail public-information request to the City of Austin Law Department.

One very lengthy paragraph of the text of that December 3, 2019, two-page official legal letter from the City Law Department has been omitted here, using ellipses, for the sake of conciseness.

Re: Public Information Request received November 15, 2019, from John McMillan (PIR# X004560)
Dear Attorney General Paxton,
The City of Austin (the "City") received the above-referenced public information request. The City's offices were closed November 28 and 29 in observance of Thanksgiving. The City has made a good-faith effort to relate the request to information in its custody.
The City believes some of the information at issue is excepted from required public disclosure under section 552.107 of the Government Code. This letter is a request for a determination under section 552.301 of the Government Code that the information at issue is so excepted. A copy of the request and a representative sample of the information are enclosed.
By copy of this letter the City is notifying the requestor that it has asked for a decision from the Office of the Attorney General.
Section 552.107(1) of the Government Code protects information within the attorney-client privilege. When asserting the attorney-client privilege, a governmental body has the burden of providing the necessary facts to demonstrate the elements of the privilege in order to withhold the information at issue....
The information at issue consists of e-mail communications between attorneys in the City’s Law Department and City employees in their capacity as client representatives. These communications were made in order to facilitate the rendition of legal services to the City. These communications were intended to be confidential and have remained confidential. Accordingly, the City may withhold the information under section 552.107(1) of the Government Code.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, you may contact me at (512) 974-2195.
Sincerely,
Zachary Brown
Assistant City Attorney

Dear City of Austin Public Information Office Open Records Coordinator,
This is a Texas Open Records Act request in which I seek to obtain from the City Government of Austin a copy of any and all written communications, including e-mail communications, that were generated or received or sent or mailed or forwarded or FAXed at any time since 8 a.m. March 13, 2017, on behalf of or by any attorney or administrator or other staff member employed in or by the City of Austin Law Department or City Attorney's Office here in Austin, and that, in each and every such case, referred at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas.
EXCLUDED FROM THE SCOPE OF THIS PUBLIC-INFORMATION REQUEST ARE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WERE EXCLUSIVELY OR SOLELY WRITTEN BY MYSELF, JOHN KEVIN McMILLAN OF AUSTIN.
My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska. I have most recently resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.
I am a gainfully employed single adult white male Austin resident of English, Scottish, and German ancestry. I am also a certified direct descendant of the Rev. William Brewster, the Puritan religious leader who served as head chaplain on the Mayflower and, later, as a leading religious adviser to British Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford in what is currently territory lying in the U.S. state or Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I myself do not have any criminal-conviction record. I lead a permanently drinking-alcohol-free, longtime-celibate-by-choice, single-by-choice, lifelong-tobacco-free, permanently marijuana-free, lifelong-illicit-drug-free in regard to any and all illicit drugs other than marijuana, lifelong-tattoo-less, facially-cleanshaven (no beard, no mustache, no goatee, etc.), civil and law-abiding and law-enforcement-minded, clean-talking (no profanity by me in my everyday conversations with other persons), non-gambling, lawfully non-Christian and implicitly-deistic (non-atheistic), religiously independent (I'm the only approved current member of my non-proselytizing "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", an Honor Society new religion with very stringent membership-eligibility requirements) lifestyle here in Austin.
During the time period applicable to this public-information request, I have resided as a rent-paying official tenant or rent-paying approved occupant at the following respective addresses at apartment complexes:
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 9, Apt. 902, Austin, Texas, 78759.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Building 16, Apartment 1609, Austin, Texas, 78759.
---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Austin, Texas, 78753.
I have maintained the same primary e-mail address throughout the entire multi-year period applicable to this public-information request. That e-mail address is: mcmillanj@att.net .
My other current e-mail address, which I am using through my new cell phone service with AT&T, is goody2shoes2019@gmail.com.
My landline home phone number has remained the same throughout the entire time period applicable to this public-information request. That phone number for me is: (512) 342-2295.
My cell phone number, which I have had ever since I obtained my first-ever cell phone through AT&T in August of 2019, is: (512) 993-7305.
Thank you in advance for your very diligent and authoritative and thorough reply letter providing me with any and all responsive legal documents.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, public-information requestor.
Current home address: 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
Home phone: (512) 342-2295.
