A respectful FYI to each of you government officials, law-enforcement agencies, and civic leaders on the following (below) "no documents" Open Records reply I received two days ago from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice state agency headquarters Office of General Counsel at Huntsville.
That reply --- from a former full-time state agency employer of mine here in Austin --- was in direct response to my most recent public-information request (below), as revised and clarified by me on the evening of October 12, 2020:
"This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications referring at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, that on any date from April 28, 2011, through the present were sent by any of the state-certified TDCJ peace officers employed in a supervisory position in Travis County, Texas."

Dear Office of General Counsel for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) state agency in Huntsville,
Thank you for your reply letter to me today (below) in which you invited me in writing to "narrow the scope" of my September 26, 2020-dated e-mail public-information request (final item, below) that was focused on certified peace officers of the TDCJ in Travis County, Texas, and me (John Kevin McMillan of Austin). As you helpfully indicated, the cost to me of your responding in full to that particular request of mine would have been very high.
To narrow the scope of my request, I would like to make the following substitution for both the first and second paragraphs of my September 26, 2020-dated public-information request to your state agency:
"This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications referring at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, that on any date from April 28, 2011, through the present were sent by any of the state-certified TDCJ peace officers employed in a supervisory position in Travis County, Texas."
As indicated above, please disregard the second paragraph of my September 26, 2020, public-information request.
Also, please let me know if you believe that this substitution for the first and second paragraphs of my September 26, 2020-dated Open Records request will help to significantly reduce the total number of hours you will need in order to provide me with a full and complete written response to my public-information request.
I hope to hear from your TDCJ Office of General Counsel in the very near future.
Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply letter to me.
Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply letter to me.

Mr. McMillan,
I am writing to you to discuss ways to narrow your request. As worded, just searching for the requested information would take a large amount of hours to program, review, and sort through any potentially responsive emails. If you could narrow the scope of the request to “emails regarding John Kevin McMillan,” it would likely reduce the cost to conduct the search significantly. Please let our office know if you would like to discuss ways to narrow this request.
You have 61 days to respond to this email and provide a better understanding, in writing, of your request. If no response is received within the 61 days, your case will be closed and your request considered withdrawn. Texas Government Code § 552.222.
Sincerely,

Dear Public Information Coordinator for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all e-mail communications referring at least once in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, that at any time since 12:01 a.m. April 28, 2011, were written, sent, forwarded, or received by any of the certified peace officers employed or situated or based at any TDCJ-owned, TDCJ-rented, or TDCJ-managed office building or jail or prison in Travis County----or, for that matter, any other TDCJ-owned, TDCJ-rented, or TDCJ-managed facility or property that was at that time located in Travis County.
EXCLUDED from the scope of this public-information request are any and all e-mail communications that were solely and exclusively written by myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin.
My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I am a native of Lincoln, Nebraska; I was born there on April 27, 1957.
I am a former Salutatorian of Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas. I am an alumnus of The University of Texas at Austin and The University of Minnesota Graduate School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Minneapolis, respectively.
I have resided in Austin proper ever since mid-March 1997, during which time I have been employed by a variety of reputable employers, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles state agencies, respectively. Mr. Brett Hornsby was a polite work supervisor of mine inside our Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles state agency office workplace along Shoal Creek Boulevard in north Austin.
Jim Frazier, a Huntsville-based staff attorney for a state agency former full-time employer of mine in Austin, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, volunteered to me on the telephone earlier this century during a long-distance phone call I made to his public law office from my rental-apartment unit private residence at Wind River Crossing Apartments in northwest Austin: "The people of Austin have not been friendly toward you, John! I recommend that you purchase a home for yourself in Huntsville and move to this east Texas city, where the residents will be much friendlier toward you" (approximate quote).
One official for the Travis County Clerk's Office of Travis County Government, David Ferris, himself the Travis County Civil Probate Division Director in downtown Austin at the time, stated to me on the telephone in August 2001, shortly after I moved into an apartment unit in northwest Austin from the UT campus area apartment unit where I had resided as a rent-paying official tenant for several years: "There appears to be an attempt by numerous persons to drive you (John Kevin McMillan) out of the Austin area."
During the nine-and-one-third-year period applicable to this public-information request, I have resided at the following respective locations as a rent-paying official tenant or rent-paying occupant (the latter status having occurred during a multi-month period in 2016 at a time when I was residing with one Anglo male adult roommate in a two-bedroom unit at Village Oaks Apartments in Austin, and our unit abruptly turned into an "employee apartment" for which I was expected by the employee/tenant---my only roommate at that time--- to continue paying my own full monthly share of the rent in my new management-team-approved status as an "occupant", with my own name not cited in the new official signed lease agreement for our apartment unit during that multi-month time period), listed chronologically from oldest address for me 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; and
---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Bldg. 17, Austin, TX 78753.
When Austin Independent School District (AISD) classes are being held, my current apartment complex in northeast Austin, Pebble Creek Apartments, is serviced on schoolday mornings by AISD buses and AISD bus drivers.
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", 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 that individual's own medical health or that is aimed at punishing him or her for having political or religious or personal beliefs---or personal prejudices, even---that are disliked or opposed by the perpetrators or sponsors of that noise pollution.
Numerous current or former Central Texas 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" (PPR). It is an implicitly-deistic, non-atheistic, factually-minded, quality-of-life-oriented religion.
Around the turn of the century I gave several televised speeches on behalf of that religion of mine on local Community Access Television in Austin. One younger Central Texan man left a violent-sounding and obscene anonymous recorded phone message on my telephone-answering machine inside my apartment unit near UT-Austin---a recorded phone message in which he volunteered that he himself is "Catholic". In his recorded message to me, he stated that he was reacting to one or more locally televised speeches of mine that I had given a matter of hours or days before on behalf of my PPR religion.
One former resident of the Travis County, Texas, Dr. Michael Kim McMillan, emphatically stated to me in person along Guadalupe Street near UT-Austin around the turn of the century, with indignation, dismay, and revulsion in his tone of voice and facial expression, during a visit of his to the Austin area from out of state: "The 'Heaven on Earth' religion you've (John Kevin McMillan) established inflicts Hell on this entire planet!"
Thank you in advance for your written response providing me with any and all documents responsive to this public-information request from myself. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, requestor.
