Dear Public Information Coordinator for the Texas State Auditor's Office state agency in Austin,
After reviewing this most recent e-mail correspondence of mine with your very influential and diligent State of Texas agency, I discovered one additional factual error in my June 11, 2023, Open Records request that I had written and e-mailed to your state agency.
I need to delete the word "solo-occupancy" from the following portion of my June 11 public-information request:
"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 local government office from inside a solo-occupancy rental apartment unit 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."
The revised and corrected version of that text should now state:
"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 local government office from inside a rental apartment unit 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."
I had moved into that fully locked two-bedroom apartment in 2001 after I responded to a roommate-wanted classified ad placed by the single adult male tenant who was temporarily living alone in that apartment. My relationship with that roommate was, of course, strictly platonic at all times. I always slept alone on my own bed, I lived alone inside my bedroom per se, and I led a completely celibate lifestyle at all times inside that locked two-bedroom rental unit.
Thank you in advance for your state agency's kind willingness to delete the word "solo-occupancy" from the above text in my June 11 letter to you.
Please note that I have also deleted that error from the text of my June 11 public information request that is the final item in this follow-up email letter to you.
Thank you again for your friendly patience and understanding on this. I value having very fine credibility with your state government agency.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
Open Records requestor John Kevin McMillan,
535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

CITY OF AUSTIN LAW DEPARTMENT SENDS ITS 13TH LEGAL LETTER IN THE MOST RECENT 8-YEAR PERIOD TO TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL PAXTON THAT SEEKS PERMISSION TO DENY ME ACCESS TO LEGAL DOCUMENTS ON FILE WITH THE CITY THAT EACH DIRECTLY REFER TO ME
I find it fascinating to note that the City Government of Austin (TX) Law Department this month has submitted yet another legal letter to the Attorney General of Texas --- at least the 13th such legal letter (see below for details) to the Attorney General from the most recent eight-year period that directly refers to me by name --- in which the City of Austin is once again seeking permission to withhold from me cited legal documents on file with the City that directly refer to me.
Here is a summary of the multi-year history of the City Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, responding to public-information requests from me by seeking official permission from the Attorney General of Texas to withhold from me legal documents on file with the City Attorney's Office that each directly refer by name to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, Texas:
JUNE 8, 2020:
Austin Assistant City Attorney Neal Falgoust on June 8, 2020, signs and mails to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton a written request for official permission to withhold from myself, public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan of Austin, legal documents on file with the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services Department that directly refer to me by name.
The cited ID number on my public-information request that was received by the City of Austin on May 22, 2020, is: C069056.
"The City believes the information at issue is excepted from required public disclosure under section 552.101 of the Government Code.
"This letter is a request for a determination under section 552.301 of the Government Code that the information at issue is so excepted. A copy of each request and a representative sample of the information at issue are enclosed. ...
"Section 552.101 of the Government Code excepts from public disclosure 'information considered to be confidential by law, either constitutional, statutory, or by judicial decision.'...", Assistant City Attorney Falgoust stated in his signed legal letter to the Attorney General of Texas.
DECEMBER 3, 2019:
Austin Assistant City Attorney Zachary Brown on December 3, 2019, signs and mails to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton a signed two-page request for official permission to withhold from myself, public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan of Austin, legal documents on file with the City Attorney's Office for which Mr. Brown maintains in writing that their confidentiality is protected by attorney-client privilege.
In his December 3, 2019, legal letter to Attorney General Paxton, Assistant City Attorney Brown states: "The information at issue consists of e-mail communications between attorneys in the City's Law Department and City employees in their capacity as client representatives. These communications were made in order to facilitate the rendition of legal services to the City. These communications were intended to be confidential and have remained confidential. Accordingly, the City (maintains that it) may withhold the information under section 552.107(1) of the Government Code."
The City Attorney's Office's request for a decision from the Attorney General on this was in response to a public-information request of mine to the City Attorney's Office that was received by the City of Austin law department on November 15, 2019 (PIR Number X004560).
MAY 20, 2016:
On that date, Assistant City Attorney Elaine Nicholson of the City Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, signs and sends an official legal letter to Texas Attorney General's Office that seeks official permission from that state agency to withhold from myself, public-information requestor John Kevin McMillan of Austin, cited legal documents on file with the City Attorney's Office at that time that directly refer to myself.
The cited reason for Ms. Nicholson's request: that the cited documents are protected from disclosure because they meet the criteria for "attorney-client privilege."
The cited legal documents contain communications directly referring to myself, Austin resident John Kevin McMillan, that reportedly involve attorneys in the City Attorney's Office and City of Austin employees in their capacities as clients seeking legal advice from those attorneys.
The City's request for an Open Records ruling from the Attorney General on this was prompted by a May 9, 2016-dated e-mail public-information request from myself---a request that was received by the City on May 10, 2016.

Dear Open Records Coordinator for the Texas State Auditor's Office state agency in Austin,
Please note corrections of typographical errors that
I have made today in the following paragraph of my June 10, 2023, Open Records request to your state agency:
"I myself do NOT have any criminal-conviction record, as I'm sure your state agency is very aware."
I have also inserted these corrections into the text of my Open Records request below.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
former Texan John Kevin McMillan of Salt Lake City, Utah.
I became a permanent resident of Utah on January 1, 2023, after residing in this great western U.S. state for one full calendar year.

Dear Open Records Coordinator for the Office of General Counsel of the Texas State Auditor's Office state agency in Austin,
Please disregard each of the previous versions of my public- information request letter to your State Auditor's Office in Austin that I sent you earlier tonight.
Below is the final and fully revised, fully corrected version of that letter.
I greatly appreciate your state agency's very kind patience with me about the corrections I have had to make to this letter.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,

Dear Public Information Coordinator for the State Auditor's Office state agency in Austin,
This is a Public Information Request in which I seek to obtain from your state agency's Office of General Counsel in Austin, Texas, any and all documents written, compiled, sent, e-mailed, FAXed, or received by your Office of General Counsel at any time since January 2, 2015, through the present, that referred to me at least once in any manner or context, or that referred to any state or local audit conducted or reviewed by your state agency which directly cited me by name in any manner or context.
My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am the founder and only approved member of the politely non-Christian and non-proselytizing "Progressive Prohibitionist Religion" that has very stringent membership-eligibility requirements and does not agree to a second member at any time in the foreseeable future.
I am a single adult permanently-drinking-alcohol-free (ever since 1990), permanently marijuana-free (ever since 1984), lifelong-illicit-drug-free in regard to any and all illicit drugs other than marijuana, anti-"medical-marijuana"-minded, lifelong-tobacco-free, lifelong-non-vaping, lifelong-tattoo-less, platonicly polite, permanently-jewelry-less, lifelong tongue-ring-free, lifelong-nostril-ring-free, consistently clean-talking and non-profane, dependably civil and law-abiding and very honest, white non-Hispanic gentleman of English, Scottish, and German ancestry.
I myself do NOT have any criminal-conviction record, as I'm sure your state agency is very aware.
I resided in Austin (TX) proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis from mid-March 1997 until December 31, 2021, when I successfully relocated from Austin by airplane to the state-capital city for Utah based upon advice from two certified peace officers for the Austin Police Department and other persons.
I was employed by a variety of reputable employers in Austin, 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. I was also employed full-time in Austin by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) state agency; the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles state agency; the Texas Legislative Council state agency; and the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
This public-information request was prompted in part by my having read recently that infliction of continuous and toxic medically injurious 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 myself or anyone else.
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 local government office from inside a rental apartment unit 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.
About seven years ago, as I walked near one Austin gentleman inside a corporate-owned restaurant workplace of mine in northwest Austin while I was on duty inside that workplace, I overheard him stating to a friend of his: "That guy is in Auschwitz (sic), but no one else is."
My primary personal e-mail address was and continues to be "mcmillanj@att.net" .
My primary personal home phone number while I resided in Austin earlier this century was "512-342-2295".
Ever since August 2019, I have 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.
My current landline home phone number in Salt Lake City, Utah, is: (801) 355-0850.
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.
Ever since mid-March of 1997, I 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, and also maintained the following post-office-box addresses and home phone numbers or message-taking phone numbers, listed chronologically from oldest address for me to most recent address:

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 stated to me over a multi-year period that they either disliked or intensely disliked or questioned the authenticity of my own fully-independent and one-total-approved-member "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 ViewPoint Apartments rental 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 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 diligent and complete and authoritative 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.
My fully locked solo-occupancy efficiency-apartment-unit rental-home address ever since June 1, 2022:
