RE: PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST of September 04, 2020, Reference # D001919-090420
 
Dear John McMillan,
 
Texas A&M University received a public information request from you on September 04, 2020.  Your request mentioned:...
 
This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all written communications, including any and all e-mail communications, referring at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, that at any time from 12:01 a.m. April 28, 2011, to the present, were written, produced, sent, e-mailed, mailed, or received by any certified peace officer employed by any Texas A&M institution or office situated in Travis County, Texas.

EXCLUDED from the scope of this public-information request are any and all e-mail communications that were exclusively written by myself.

This public-information request was prompted in part by a 1997-dated legal document I obtained from your university system through a public-information request of mine.

That legal document comprised a two-page official memorandum written by Texas A&M University System General Counsel Delmar Cain. In that 1997 legal document that he shared with other Texas A&M System officials, the very distinguished State Bar of Texas member attorney Delmar Cain explored in writing whether he himself should file a legal complaint on my own behalf in a court of law. 

The cited purpose of that possible lawsuit that Mr. Cain in that Texas A&M memorandum tentatively explored pursuing, would have been to achieve a lawful and permanent termination of allegedly "anonymous obscene communications" (his wording) allegedly victimizing me on a frequent basis in Austin. 

In his 1997 memorandum, Mr. Cain's cited reason for concluding against filing a legal complaint on my own behalf was that Mr. Cain himself questioned my own "sincerity". His cited reason for doubting my sincerity was that Mr. Cain questioned whether I was myself adequately striving to personally address the broader needs of the entire city of Austin during that time period, Mr. Cain stated in writing in his Texas A&M System memorandum.

My legal name is "John Kevin McMillan". My date of birth is April 27, 1957. I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska. 

I was Salutatorian of the Class of 1975 at Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District. I have a Master's Degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, and I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Texas at Austin.

I reside alone as a rent-paying official tenant inside a solo-occupancy always-fully-bolt-locked and always-fully-locked efficiency rental-apartment unit at a large gated-community apartment complex, Pebble Creek Apartments at 8805 North Plaza Drive in north Austin.

When Austin Independent School District (AISD) classes are being held, my current apartment complex in Austin is serviced on schoolday mornings by AISD buses and AISD bus drivers.

During the nine-year period applicable to this public-information request, I have resided at the following locations, listed chronologically from oldest address to most recent address:
---Wind River Crossing Apartments, 11411 Research Boulevard, Apt. 325, Austin, TX 78759.
---Crossland Economy Studios, 12621 Hymeadow Road, Apt. 133, Austin, TX 78729.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 902, Austin, TX 78759.
---Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apt. 1609, Austin, TX 78759.
---Austin Motor Inn, 11400 North Interstate Highway 35, a first-floor room, Austin, TX 78753.
---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.

I am the founder and only approved current member of a new and non-Christian non-proselytizing "Honor Society" religion, the anti-marijuana, anti-medical-marijuana, anti-illicit-drugs, anti-tobacco, anti-drinking-alcohol, anti-tattoos, anti-profanity-minded, anti-facial-hair-minded "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion", or "PPR", that has very stringent membership-eligibility requirements. 

That one total religion of mine opposes home-invasion crimes, opposes personal-injury-crimes, opposes sexual assault crimes, opposes the sex crime of pederasty, opposes the infliction of profanity or obscene speech on anyone in a context that violates their own privacy rights, opposes anonymous communications that violate the privacy of the person being subjected to those communications, opposes fraudulent or knowingly dishonest communications, opposes thought-control projects, opposes so-called "deprogramming" projects, opposes kidnappings, opposes hostage-takings, opposes compelled speech that violates the privacy rights of the individual being subjected to that compelled speech against his wishes, and opposes deliberate infliction of continuous noise pollution on anyone in a context that harms their own medical health or that is aimed at punishing them for having political or religious or personal beliefs---or personal prejudices, even---that are disliked or opposed by the perpetrators of that noise pollution.

Numerous Austin-area residents have stated to me over a multi-year period that they either dislike or intensely dislike or question the authenticity of my own fully-independent "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion"---an implicitly-deistic, non-atheistic factually-minded religion on behalf of which around the turn of the century I gave several televised speeches on local Community Access Television in Austin. One anonymous male person around the turn of the century even left a recorded phone message on my telephone answering machine inside my ViewPoint Apartments rental-apartment unit near UT-Austin, in which he stated that he himself was "Catholic"; and he used profanity and a violent, obscene phrase in criticizing my PPR religion.

I hope to hear from you soon in response to this public-information request from myself. 

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, requestor.
My solo-occupancy efficiency-apartment-unit rental-home address ever since June 21, 2019:
Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Bldg. 17 (a multi-unit apartment building situated in the northeastern corner of this large and gated-community complex that reportedly receives private security-patrol services on a 24-hour-a-day and year-round basis from Statewide Patrol, Inc.), Austin, TX 78753.
