October 19, 2023
Dear Texas Commission on Environmental Quality state agency Public Information Request Specialist Mona Bakshi,
Thank you for your prompt reply (below) to my October 19, 2023, Texas Open Records Request (last item, below) that was primarily addressed to the Attorney General of Texas.
In Travis County, Texas, where Austin is the county seat, does any State Government of Texas agency or any U.S. government agency have any jurisdiction or any legal authority over abatement or elimination of continuous background noise pollution that a person (myself) subjected to that noise pollution against his wishes has complained about to local law-enforcement agencies?
I am posing that question to you partly because in the early 1990s when I resided in west Texas, I received a pertinent signed official reply letter on official Governor of Texas stationery that was signed by Texas Governor Ann Richards.
In her reply letter to me, Governor Richards volunteered to me that she had asked a member of her staff to contact a regional U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office in Texas on my behalf in regard to my continuous-noise-pollution complaint to the Governor. Governor Richards stated in her reply letter to me that her staff member was informed by that federal agency that in the state of Texas, the respective county governments hold legal authority and legal responsibility over reduction or elimination of noise pollution.
In the state of Texas during the applicable time period from January 5, 2015, until October 19, 2023, does your State of Texas agency maintain that Travis County Government in Austin had or has sole legal authority and sole legal responsibility for lawfully terminating continuous and continuing year-round noise pollution that has been determined to be significantly medically injurious to me, and that I have complained about in writing and on the telephone to Travis County Government?
I hope to hear from you soon, Ms. Bakshi.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
current Public Information requestor, former Austin (TX) resident, and, ever since January 1, 2023, permanent Utah resident John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

Subject: TX OAG OGC PIR: docs re: risk that I might 'go deaf'
October 19, 2023
Dear Open Records Coordinator for the Attorney General of Texas state agency in Austin,
This is a Texas Open Records Request in which to obtain from you a copy of any and all documents written, generated, received, sent, or forwarded by the Office of General Counsel for the Attorney General of Texas state agency at any time from 8 a.m. January 5, 2015, until 8 a.m. October 19, 2023, that each directly referred to a long-term expectation or long-term risk that I myself, John Kevin McMillan---my date of birth 4-27-1957 and my place of birth Lincoln, Nebraska---might or would definitely "go deaf" from my being subjected against my own wishes to continuous and unwanted 24-hours-per-day or approximately 20-hours-per-day year-round and multi-decade and continuing ambient or environmental or background or human-generated noise pollution I myself did not produce, and in regard to which an official or staff member of the Attorney General of Texas state agency had identified the source, perpetrator, financier, or sponsor of that continuous noise pollution either occurring in Austin, Texas, elsewhere in Travis County, Texas, and in Williamson County, Texas;
or, alternatively, originating elsewhere in Texas.
I am a lifelong single gentleman, and I have never been married to anyone. I have been completely celibate ever since one total day in 1995. I led and continue to lead a civil and law-abiding, vigilant and pro-law-enforcement, permanently alcohol-free, permanently marijuana-free, lifelong-tobacco-free, lifelong-nonvaping, facially cleanshaven, lifelong tattoo-less, non-sadomasochistic and anti-S&M, consistently clean-talking and non-profane in my everyday conversations, platonicly polite, permanently jewelry-less, single adult lifestyle throughout the entire time period of this Open Records Request.
Throughout the entire applicable time period for this request I used or currently use a personal e-mail address for myself of mcmillanj@att.net.
I resided in Austin, Texas, and was physically situated in Austin on a continuous and uninterrupted basis throughout the applicable time period from January 5, 2015, until the morning of December 31, 2021. My most recent rental-apartment unit home address in Austin, a solo-occupancy rental unit, was Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apartment 2418, Bldg. 17, Austin, TX 78753.
My home phone number when I resided in Austin during the applicable time period was (512) 342-2295.
Ever since August of 2019, after I paid for and obtained my first-ever cell phone, my cell phone number has been and continues to be: (512) 993-7305.
I have resided in Utah and have been situated specifically in Salt Lake County, Utah, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since the late afternoon of December 31, 2021. I officially became a permanent resident of Utah on January 1, 2023.
A very first-rate Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist whom I consulted this year in Salt Lake City, Utah, indicated to me after testing my hearing capacity inside his medical clinic that I myself may be or am at risk of going deaf from my being subjected to continuous noise pollution in Utah.
I hope to hear from you soon in response to this public information request.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.
My solo-occupancy fully locked studio apartment unit rental-home address 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.
