Dear City of Round Rock (TX) Open Records Coordinator in the Round Rock City Clerk's Office in southern Williamson County of the Greater Austin Metropolitan Area,

Thank you for your August 19, 2020, reply letter (final item, below) to me in response to my August 15, 2020, online public-information request that I submitted on August 15 to your municipal government at your official City of Round Rock website.

Your reply note apparently indicates that neither the Internal Affairs Unit of the Round Rock Police Department nor any other unit of the Round Rock Police Department in calendar year 2020 has ever once generated or sent any document referring to me or has ever at any time received any document referring to me at least once that came from a source OTHER than myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin.

Would you please clarify for me in writing whether you are in fact stating that NEITHER the Round Rock Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit nor any other Round Rock PD unit, nor any peace officer, staff member, official, or administrator of the Round Rock Police Department, at any time since January 1, 2020, has ever at any time written, produced, sent, e-mailed, mailed, FAXed, or forwarded any e-mail or other written communication referring to me at least once in any way, or has ever once received any document on any occasion this year that referred to me at least once in any way and that came from a source OTHER than myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin?

Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply note to me in response to this one follow-up question from myself.

Incidentally, for your convenience I am also sharing with you the full exactly-quoted text (immediately below) of my August 15, 2020, Open Records request that I submitted online that same day to your city government at your official City of Round Rock website, along with the text of the automated-message reply from your city that very promptly confirmed to me your receipt of that public-information request from me:
