Dear Office of the General Counsel Staff for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) state agency in Huntsville,

Thank you for your most recent reply letter stating that my proposed possible narrowing of the scope of my public-information request to you would still require me to pay you $498.60 in advance in exchange for e-mail letters on file in your Office of the General Counsel that refer to me by name.

If you have any suggestions for me on how I could narrow the scope of my request while also significantly reducing the amount of money I would need to pay you for your final written response to my request that provides me with any an all responsive e-mail letters that refer to me, I would be very grateful.

I would also appreciate it if you would please confirm for me in writing that your TDCJ Office of General Counsel is aware that:
---I myself am NOT a convicted felon;
---In my entire life thus far, I have never on any occasion ever once been charged with any felony crime;
---I myself do not have any criminal conviction record;
---The most recent and only year in which I was employed full-time by your state agency was the year 1999, when I resided in Austin;
and that
---I myself have never been present inside any courtroom anywhere in Texas in which I myself was asked to testify on behalf of the prosecution or in which I myself was officially cited as having been a victim of one or more alleged felony crimes.

Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply note to me on this.

Best Wishes,
former TDCJ full-time employee and current public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

Dear Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) state agency Office of General Counsel Staff Members in Huntsville, Texas,



Thank you for your reply letter (below) today and accompanying attachment you sent me today that contained a three-page invoice for me from TDCJ Assistant

General Counsel William Overton.

That three-page signed invoice states that your public law office is now asking me to pay your Office of General Counsel in advance a total of "$498.60" in exchange for:

"a copy of any and all e-mail letters and other written communications or legal records that were written, generated, compiled, received, sent, FAXed or mailed by any staff member or official of your TDCJ Office of General Counsel in Huntsville during the time period from January 1, 2015, through the present and that in each and every such a case referred to me (John Kevin McMillan) at least once in any manner or any context" and

"a copy of each and every document I (John Kevin McMillan) wrote that was received by your Office of General Counsel in Huntsville, including any and all public-information requests that I wrote and submitted to your state agency headquarters during the time period ever since January 1, 2015, and any and all written communications during that time period between your public law office and the Attorney General of Texas state agency that referred to me or to a public information request of mine."



I am hereby respectfully narrowing the scope of my February 7, 2023, follow-up public-information request to solely and exclusively include:

---any and all e-mail communications that during the time period from January 1, 2015, through the present, were written, sent, forwarded, or received by any and all TDCJ staff members who during the applicable time period had or have an involvement in the processing or forwarding of, or communications about, financial restitution payments to myself, John Kevin McMillan, my date of birth being 4-27-1957; and

---any and all e-mail communications in which your Office of General Counsel requested legal rulings or legal advice from the Attorney General of Texas during the time period from January 1, 2015, through the present, in a context that referred at least once to myself, John Kevin McMillan, date of birth 4-27-1957, or to a public-information request of mine I had submitted to your State of Texas agency.



Thank you for your kind patience and understanding about my now seeking to narrow the scope of my public-information request to your state agency's Office of General Counsel.



I hope this most recent revision of my public-information request will help to significantly reduce the amount of money you are asking me to pay your state agency in exchange for the cited legal documents.



Sincerely and Best Wishes,

former TDCJ full-time employee in Austin and current public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

Mr. McMillan,



Your recent request, dated January 23, 2023, failed to expressly include emails. Your prior requests, at least the three previous requests, expressly included emails for which you were issued cost estimates with bonds. You failed to pay the bonds on the estimates; records were not released because payment was not received.



As noted, your present request failed to expressly include emails, with your history of expressly including emails and rejecting cost estimates for the emails it was reasonable to conclude you were not including emails in the language of your request. As you have clarified that you were including emails in the language of your January 23, 2023, request, please see the attached cost estimate with bond letter.

Thank you for your February 6 reply letter (below) indicating that your State Government of Texas agency does not have any record since January 1, 2015, of any past or expected future financial payment of restitution to me on behalf of any past or current or expected future inmate or former inmate of the state prison system of Texas.

Included in the scope of this follow-up public-information request is a copy of each and every document I wrote that was received by your Office of General Counsel in Huntsville, including any and all public-information requests that I wrote and submitted to your state agency headquarters during the time period ever since January 1, 2015, and any and all written communications during that time period between your public law office and the Attorney General of Texas state agency that referred to me or to a public information request of mine.
