Subject: FW: Your Public Information Request to UT System & OR2020-28032
Dear John Kevin McMillan,
The Texas Public Information Act does not require us to answer questions or create new information. However, in an attempt to assist with your inquiry, I have related your request to records maintained in UT System’s Office of General Counsel records management system.
You have asked: Do you know the total number of occasions since March 10, 1997, in which UT System Administration has submitted a legal letter to the Attorney General of Texas that sought and also obtained authorization to withhold from me one or more legal documents directly referring to myself by name that were responsive to a public-information request of mine to either UT System or a UT System component institution such as UT-Austin?
Based on our records I believe there have been 5 times, including this most recent request, that UT System or an institution has sought an Attorney General opinion regarding a request from you with documents about you or referencing you. While you have submitted at least a couple of other requests that System has a record of (we do not always receive notice of requests to institutions if an Attorney General opinion is not required), those requests were for information about personnel of component institutions. To the extent there are records that pre-date our current records management system and are no longer maintained (in accordance with our records retention policies), I have no way to search for or include those requests in this reply.
I have attached information regarding the prior requests at issue, apart from the most recent request, the AG ruling of which was discussed in our recent correspondence.
- OGC# 150886 – 2013 request to UT System – determined there was no information responsive to your request and the initial notice to the Attorney General was withdrawn
- OGC# 160433 – 2015 request to UT System – some information released; attorney-client privileged information withheld; information relating to a closed criminal investigation the result of which was not conviction or deferred adjudication withheld
- OGC# 171702 – 2016 request to UT Austin – some information released; attorney-client privileged information withheld
- OGC# 172033 – 2016 request to UT System – some information released; attorney-client privileged information withheld
- OGC #198802 – recent 2020 request to UT System - some information released; attorney-client privileged information withheld; rely on prior ruling for attorney-client information and closed criminal information already withheld by the Attorney General
While I cannot divulge the content of privileged communications withheld under the Attorney General opinions, I will note that the majority of UT System’s internal privileged communications responsive to your request pertain to the processing of your requests by myself and my colleagues. Any reference to a closed investigation continues to reference an incident initially ruled upon by the Attorney General in 2015, but which remains responsive to each new request unless specifically excluded. There are no new investigations responsive to these requests.

Dear John McMillan,
This correspondence relates to your below clarified request for information submitted to The University of Texas System Administration (“UT System”). Your clarified request seeks “all written communications, including any and all e-mail communications and reports and directives, 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, generated, sent, e-mailed, forwarded, mailed, FAXed, or received by a state-certified supervisory peace officer or any other state-certified peace officer employed inside the UT System Office of the Director of Police in downtown Austin. Excluded from the scope of this request are any and all documents that I myself exclusively wrote.”
UT System received the attached Attorney General opinion, OR2020-28032, which finds UT System may withhold the information at issue as privileged attorney-client communications. As noted in our earlier correspondence, UT System previously released responsive information not excepted from disclosure. Accordingly, there is no additional information for release. UT System considers this matter closed.

Cynthia Tynan

Mr. Daniel H. Sharphorn,
Vice Chancellor and General Counsel,
The University of Texas System (UT System),
210 West 7th Street,
Austin, Texas 78701-2903
September 21, 2020
Dear Vice Chancellor Sharphorn,
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 and reports, 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, forwarded, mailed, or received by a certified peace officer, regardless of his or her rank or title or administrative position, who either was at that time or currently is pursuing job duties in Travis County, Texas, for the UT System Police Department.
My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, on April 27, 1957.
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 have resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997.
I have kept the same personal e-mail address of "mcmillanj@att.net" throughout the entire nine-year period applicable to this public-information request. I have also used the same personal phone number of (512) 342-2295 throughout the entire nine-year period for this request.
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 as a rent-paying official tenant or, for a brief multi-month period in 2016, a rent-paying approved occupant, 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 younger person around the turn of the century 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.
One former resident of the Austin area, Dr. Michael Kim McMillan, around the turn of the century stated to me with indignation and intense revulsion on his face in an in-person conversation I had with him outdoors near the UT-Austin campus during a visit of his to Austin, Texas, from out of state: "The 'Heaven on Earth' religion you've (John Kevin McMillan of Austin) established has inflicted Hell on our entire planet!"
I hope to hear from you soon in response to this public-information request from myself.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, public-information 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.
