May 30, 2023

Dear Very Honorable State Senators of Texas,

In the last few days I read about planned impeachment hearings for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

 I would like to submit as evidence to each of you very influential members of the Texas Senate the following October 8, 2020, Open Records Request (below) that I wrote and e-mailed to the Attorney General of Texas. 

Because my request was focused on conduct relating to me by Attorney General Paxton and his immediate subordinates,  I am sharing this with you as information that might be currently pertinent for your governing body.

I hope that this additional information will be helpful to each of you State Senators in Austin as you also review whether Texas Attorney General Paxton was law-abiding and adequately pro-law-enforcement in conduct of his that related to my own living conditions, housing conditions, and working conditions during the applicable time period in which I resided in Austin, Texas, from January 5, 2015, until the morning of December 31, 2021. I traveled by airplane from Austin, Texas, to Salt Lake City, Utah, on December 31, 2021.

I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, a longstanding criminal-law complainant during my years in Austin, Texas, and, ever since January 1, 2023, a single adult male permanent resident of the great state of Utah. I have resided in Utah on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since December 31, 2021.
My solo-occupancy and fully-locked studio-rental-unit home address in Salt Lake City, Utah, ever since June 1, 2022:
535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
My cell phone: (512) 993-7305.
My home phone: (801) 355-0850.
My date of birth: April 27, 1957. 
My place of birth: Lincoln, Nebraska.

Dear Public Information Coordinator for the Attorney General of Texas state agency (OAG) in Austin,

This is a Texas Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all phone messages, e-mail communications or other written communications referring to me at least once in any manner that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton or any OAG staff member under Mr. Paxton's direct supervision --- specifically an OAG employee situated while on duty in the same room or the same multi-desk office area as Mr. Paxton on the eighth floor of the Price Daniel Sr. state-government office building at 209 West 14th Street in downtown Austin --- wrote, produced, generated, sent, mailed, FAXed, or received at any time since Mr. Paxton assumed his elective office as attorney general on January 5, 2015.

My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, at Lincoln, Nebraska. I am the founder and sole approved member of the non-Christian "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion" that has very stringent membership-eligibility requirements.

I am a single adult permanently-drinking-alcohol-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, white non-Hispanic gentleman of English, Scottish, and German ancestry.
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 state law-enforcement agency. I was employed full-time in the DPS Motor Carrier Bureau along Guadalupe Street for one year in the late 1990s.

This public-information request was prompted in part by having read recently that infliction of continuous and toxic noise pollution on targeted human rights victims has frequently occurred in cases of religious or political persecution of those individuals. 
I myself am a lifelong non-Christian gentleman. I take pride in being law-abiding, conscientious, very civil, and honest. I am very opposed to the deliberate infliction of continuous noise pollution on anyone in a context that violates his own privacy rights. I also oppose the infliction of continuous anonymous obscene communications on anyone in a context that violates his own privacy rights. I also oppose infliction of thought-control projects on anyone.
In August of 2001 one Travis County Government official, David Ferris, Civil Probate Division Director for the Travis County Clerk's Office in Austin, volunteered an oral statement to me on the telephone during a polite local phone call I had made to his government office from inside an apartment I had just moved into in northwest Austin : 
"There appears to be an attempt by numerous persons to drive you (John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin) out of the Austin area," Travis County official David Ferris stated to me on his own volition.
A few years ago, as I walked near one Austin gentleman at a public place in northwest Austin, I overheard him stating to a friend of this: "That guy is in Auschwitz (sic), but no one else is."
My primary personal e-mail address of "mcmillanj@att.net" and my primary personal phone number of "512-342-2295" have remained the same throughout the five-and-two-third-year period applicable to this public-information request. Ever since August 2019, I have also owned and used a cell phone of my own for the first time that I purchased through AT&T, and that has the phone number of (512) 993-7305.
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.

During the five-and-two-third-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 apartment-management-team-approved occupant, at the following locations, 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.

The new and non-Christian non-proselytizing "Honor Society" religion I founded in 1996, the above-cited Progressive Prohibitionist Religion, is anti-marijuana, anti-medical-marijuana, anti-illicit-drugs, anti-tobacco, anti-drinking-alcohol, anti-tattoos, anti-profanity-minded, and anti-facial-hair-minded.

That one total fully-independent 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). 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 even left a violent-sounding and obscene anonymous recorded phone message on my telephone-answering machine inside my apartment 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 on behalf of my PPR religion.

Around the turn of the century, one former Austin-area resident, Dr. Michael Kim McMillan, declared to me in person with indignation and revulsion in his tone of voice and facial expression in a conversation I had with him outdoors near UT-Austin's campus that occurred during a brief visit of his to the Austin area from out of state: "The 'Heaven on Earth' religion you've (John Kevin McMillan of Austin) established has inflicted Hell on this entire planet!"

Thank you in advance for your reply letter to me in response to this public-information request from myself. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan, public-information requestor.

Assistant Attorney General of Texas,
Assistant Public Information Coordinator,
Office of the Attorney General state agency,
Austin, Texas

May 27, 2023

Dear Texas Assistant Attorney General Harden,

Thank you for your May 22, 2023, reply letter (below) to me about my currently-active Open Records complaint against the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin.

Earlier this year, I left several voice-mail messages with your state agency's Open Government Hotline in Austin in regard to my March 2023 Open Records Complaint against the Open Records Coordinator for the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas. 

I am politely alleging that the Travis County District Attorney's Office has apparently failed to promptly and fully comply with state law in Texas by providing me with a full and complete written response within 10 working days of that government agency's receipt of my January 16, 2023, e-mail Open Records request (see last item, below) to that DA's Office.

Staff members for your state agency's Open Government Hotline in Austin were never available to directly speak with me this year when I called them at their correct official phone number. And whenever they made a return phone call to me at my cell phone number,  I was either on duty at a workplace of mine and unable to take the call, or otherwise unavailable.

Ms. Harden, please forward to an attorney or investigator for the "Education and Enforcement Section" of your state agency's Open Records Division this entire correspondence (below) of mine about one or more alleged possible violations of the Texas Open Records law by the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin.

I myself would prefer to directly receive an actual letter----rather than a pro-forma reply phone message---from an Education and Enforcement Section attorney or investigator in  your Open state agency's Open Records Division. I am referring to a follow-up letter to me that provides me with a specific e-mail address or specific FAX number for the specific applicable attorney or specific applicable investigator assigned to my still-active Open Records complaint.

Thank you again for your May 22 reply letter, Assistant Attorney General Harden.

 I hope to hear from your state agency on this as soon as possible.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
current public-information requestor and current Open Records complainant John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

Dear Texas Assistant Attorney General Harden,

 

Thank you for your reply letter (below)  to me today.

 

Your reply letter indicates  that the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin has chosen not to write and send to your state agency any written request for exemption from the State of Texas-imposed 10-total-working-days  deadline for their  response to my January 2023 Open Records request. That official exemption-request deadline for the DA's Office in Austin occurred  at 5 p.m. Monday, January 30, 2023.

 

As the State Comptroller of Texas explains at its official state agency website: "Failure to request an Attorney General opinion and notify the requestor within 10 business days will result in a presumption that the information is open unless there is a compelling reason to withhold it."

 

As you know, my most recent Open Records request to the DA's Office in Austin was written and e-mailed  by me  on January 16, 2023, to their official e-mail address for accepting Open Records requests.

 

My January 16-dated request to the Travis County DA's Office had requested "a copy of any and all documents written or generated by your DA's Office in Austin during Jose Garza's current tenure as the DA that referred to a legal action or administrative action pursued by, an investigation pursued by, or a criminal charge filed in a court of law by, the Travis County District Attorney's Office at any time since January 1, 2021, and that in each and every such case also related to me or referred to me in any manner or context."

 

As you are no doubt  aware, Ms. Harden, the two-year scope of my Open Records request was very minimal. District Attorney Jose Garza's  elective position as Travis County DA officially began on January 1, 2021.

 

I hope to hear from you soon about this legal issue currently facing your state agency in Austin.

 

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

requestor John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

Public Information Coordinator's Office,

Office of the Attorney General of Texas state agency,

Austin, Texas 

 

May 19, 2023

 

Dear Ms. Bernal-Leon,

 

Thank you for the 17 pages of attachments you e-mailed to me on May 4, 2023,  in response to my April 28, 2023, Open Records request to your State of Texas agency in Austin.

 

 That April 28 public information request of mine had sought to obtain from your state agency a copy of "any and all e-mail communications, letters, reports, rulings, memoranda, or other written communications, and any and all phone messages, that were received or authored or sent or mailed or FAXed by an investigator, attorney, official, or other employee in the Attorney General of Texas Open Records Division and that, in each and every such case, referred at least once in any manner to either my revised January 16, 2023, Open Records request (final item, below) to the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, or to my recent Open Records complaint to your state agency about the alleged failure of that DA's Office to provide me with a written reply providing me with one or more documents or any and all documents responsive to my January 16-dated public-information request."

 

Your May 4 reply letter to me contained in your 17 pages of attached legal documents  for me a three-page March 17, 2023, legal letter from your state agency's Open Records Division, Education and Enforcement Section, that was directly addressed to Travis County District Attorney's Office representative Henry Kellison  in Austin, Texas.

 

The third page of that March 17 legal letter to Mr. Kellison contained an unsigned one-page legal form entitled "PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT REQUEST CERTIFICATION FROM GOVERNMENTAL BODY"

"RE: OAG ID# 052140

"Please complete this form to indicate the manner in which the referenced request will be or has been answered. Include your signature and date...."

 

 

Ms. Bernal-Leon, I would like to respectfully ask you whether your state agency in Austin has ever received a completed version of that requested one-page certification form from the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, in a context that referred to my still-active or recently active Open Records complaint against the Travis County DA's Office.

 

I am posing this question to you because I myself do not see any factual evidence that the  Attorney General of Texas ever received any reply letter from the Travis County District Attorney's Office relating to my Open Records complaint through your state agency against that DA's Office in Austin.

 

Thank you in advance, Ms. Bernal-Leon, for your  courtesy reply letter to me in regard to whether the DA's Office in Austin has in fact responded to you  in writing on your request for information from that prosecuting attorney's office of Travis County Government.

 

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

Dear Travis County District Attorney's Office Open Records Coordinator, 

This is an Open Records request in which I seek to obtain from you a copy of any and all documents written or generated by your DA's Office in Austin during Jose Garza's current tenure as the DA that referred to a legal action or administrative action pursued by, an investigation pursued by, or a criminal charge filed in a court of law by, the Travis County District Attorney's Office at any time since January 1, 2021, and that in each and every such case also related to me or referred to me in any manner or context. 

 My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. My date of birth is 4-27-1957; my place of birth is Lincoln, Nebraska. 

During the applicable period from January 1, 2021, through the present, my only residential address in Travis County, Texas, was at the gated-community Pebble Creek Apartments complex in northeast Austin. My address there was: 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Austin, Texas, 78753.
My home phone number during that period was (512) 342-2295. My cell phone number, after I purchased and obtained my first-ever cell phone in August 2019, was and continues to be: (512) 993-7305. My current e-mail address is: mcmillanj@att.net.

Among the insights I hope to glean from this public information request are answers to the following questions: 

 ---Has District Attorney Jose Garza requested that the Austin Police Department continue to maintain with full integrity each of the three respective forensic medical exam rape-evidence kits obtained from me at my request in Austin----two of them in 2011 and one of them in 2021? 

---What prompted Henry Kellison, the polite Executive Assistant to Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza, to state to me on my cell phone in early April of 2021 that I myself am the complainant --- NOT the defendant, he emphasized to me on the phone in 2021 --- in a felony "home invasion crimes" case?

 ----What prompted Mr. Kellison of your DA's Office in Austin to specifically state to me on the telephone on April 6, 2021, that he wanted me to "hire a criminal-defense attorney" to represent me in planned communications with the DA's Office in Austin in the above-cited context in which I myself would be the cited criminal-law complainant?

 --Did the Travis County District Attorney's Office under Mr. Garza's leadership obtain any credible evidence that I myself was victimized by one or more alleged home-invasion-related sexual assault crimes or other alleged felony sex crimes or felony personal injury crimes during my continuous and uninterrupted period of residence in Travis County, Texas, that occurred from mid-March 1997 until December 31, 2021, the date when I relocated to Utah by airplane?

 ---Is Travis County District Attorney Garza aware that I myself have never on any occasion since or including December 31, 1979, ever once agreed to participate in or participated in any mutual-consent sexual contact with another human being or any "beast", for that matter, in Travis County, Texas?

---Is Travis County DA Garza aware that the most recent occasion when I myself participated in a mutual-consent sex act occurred on one total cited date in 1995 with an adult Anglo person in Baytown, Texas?

 --Is Travis County Garza aware that I myself have never once consumed any quantity of any alcoholic beverage anywhere in Travis County, Texas, or elsewhere in the entire world on any occasion since the late summer of 1990, when I was resided in Austin, Texas; and that I myself have never once consumed any quantity of marijuana on any occasion since the late fall of 1984, when I resided in Worcester, Massachusetts; and that in my entire life I myself have never once consumed any illicit drug other than marijuana?

---Does Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza currently plan to file one or more felony criminal charges in a court of law in Travis County, Texas, that refer to me as the cited victim?

---Is Travis County District Attorney Garza concerned that an expected very large number of defendants in a courtroom proceeding in Austin in which I am the cited victim of one or more felony home-invasion sex crimes and other personal-injury crimes in Travis County, Texas, over a multi-year period might pose a possible "barrier" to successful full and vigorous prosecution of those felony crime cases in a court of law in Austin?

 ---Does Travis County DA Jose Garza agree that I am dependably civil and law-abiding, that I myself do not have any criminal-conviction record, and that I have very strong credibility as a criminal-law complainant in a Home-Invasion Sex Crimes case in Travis County, Texas?

---Does the Travis County District Attorney's Office have any factual evidence that any person, group of persons, business entity, media company, non-profit group, religious or political group, "educational services" provider, "medical services" provider, government-owned institution, or other entity either maintaining a residential address or business address in Travis County, Texas, or owning or leasing property in Travis County, Texas, has possibly had an alleged involvement of some type in alleged continuous inter-racial harassment of me, alleged continuous verbal abuse of me in retaliation against my well-known Anglophilia (my keen affinity for law-abiding facially-cleanshaven naturally-blond white Anglo non-Hispanic persons) and my Anglosexual (I DO NOT agree to ever have sexual contact with any non-whites) sexual identity, or to my identifying with and experiencing a politely expressed greater emotional affinity toward a higher percentage of the law-abiding, politely masculine, non-alcoholic, tobacco-free, facially-cleanshaven Anglo non-Hispanic heterosexual adult men my age or younger than any other subpopulation of adult men?

 --Is Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza aware of any deliberately dishonest or fraudulent continuous anonymous communications I am currently being subjected to in Salt Lake County, Utah, or I was subjected to in Travis County, Texas, for which one or more persons in Travis County, Texas, have had an alleged role, whether as a direct financier of those communications or as a participant in them?

 ---Does Travis County DA Garza believe that continuous stress-inducing medically injurious noise pollution that I did not generate or want, and to which I was subjected in Travis County, Texas, for many years, including at my respective workplaces in Austin, involved alleged criminal-intent toward me by numerous persons?

 ---Does DA Jose Garza believe I myself was stalked by anyone in Travis County, Texas, who attempted to prevent me from developing a mutual-consent social life and a mutual-consent romantic life in Travis County?

---Is Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza aware that a first-rate attorney in Houston, Texas, Arnold G. Polanco, on June 6, 2008, advised me on the telephone from his Ross Banks Law Firm office (office phone number 713-626-1200) that it is illegal in Texas for a government agency to subject me to continuous verbal communications in any context after continuous electronic surveillance of myself had already been authorized by a government agency?

 ---Does Travis County DA Garza know what prompted W. Rick Copeland, then the agent in charge of the FBI office in Austin, Texas, to state to me on the telephone in the late 1990s, when I called him from inside a University Federal Credit Union location in north central Austin, that unless I myself was involved in "illicit drug trafficking" --- and I most definitely was NOT --- it would be illegal for the government in Texas to subject me to continuous electronic surveillance of myself?

 ---Is Travis County DA Garza aware that I myself have NEVER authorized any "anonymous educational services", any "anonymous fraudulent communications" to me, any "anonymous sexual penetration services" being inflicted on me, any "anonymous mental-health services", or any "thought-control project" being inflicted on me?

 ---Is the Travis County DA's Office aware that I myself officially became a permanent resident of the great and significantly more >> Anglo-Saxon state of Utah on January 1, 2023, after I had resided in and remained in Salt Lake County, Utah, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis for one full calendar year in which I myself never traveled outside of Utah on any occasion?

 ---Does Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza agree with a statement to me in 2019 or 2020 by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas (OAG) in Austin that I myself would not qualify for any human-trafficking investigation by their state agency's Human Trafficking Unit in which I was the cited victim, with their cited reason to me having been that I myself was not being "paid" by anyone in exchange for their reportedly having physical or sexual contact with me during my sleeping hours inside my locked solo-occupancy rental apartment unit in northeast Austin.

 ---Has Travis County DA Garza contacted a federal law-enforcement agency based on evidence Mr. Garza has obtained that I myself have been or was subjected to illegal felony-crime activities involving the crossing of state lines or involving inter-state commerce, or involving inter-racial hate crimes or other hate crimes in which I myself was the white non-Hispanic (my racial group), English and Scottish and German in ancestry, and  non-Jewish victim; in which I was the lifelong-non-Christian and religiously independent and implicitly deistic and non-atheistic victim; in which I was the morally and aesthetically straight and longtime celibate by choice, non-transsexual and non-effeminate and personally-myself-opposed-to- sex-change-operations victim; in which I was the senior-citizen victim; in which I was the lifelong-single victim; and in which I was also the adult male lifelong-American citizen-from-birth victim? 

I hope to hear from you soon. 

Best Wishes, 
public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan.
