February 29, 2024


Dear Public Information Government Relations Office  Staff Member for the "Texas Commission on Law Enforcement" (TCOLE) state agency in Austin,


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


Your reply letter to me apparently indicates that your state agency during the applicable time period since April 28, 2011, did not receive any request to train or re-train an expected future peace officer or current  peace officer for the Austin (TX)  Police Department  or a current or future crime lab staff member for the Austin Police Department in any context that specifically  referred to me.


Your reply letter to me today apparently also indicates that your state agency in Austin has not had any role in the  training or re-training of  one or more current or expected future  certified peace  officers or crime lab staff members  of the Austin (TX) Police Department in any context that referred to myself, John Kevin McMillan, as having been or being the actual victim of one or more confirmed felony Home-Invasion  Somnophilia-Sexual-Assault Crimes and other Personal-Injury Crimes during my sleeping hours as I lay alone on my bed inside my locked rental apartment unit in Austin, Texas.


I am also specifically referring to TCOLE training or retraining of  an expected future or current APD officer or APD crime lab staff member on how in the future they can each  identify  the applicable forensic evidence in their possession that a single adult person living alone inside a locked rental apartment in  Austin was, in fact,  victimized by CONTINUOUS daily and week-long or  multi-week or multi-month or multi-year  felony Home-Invasion Anal-Rape Sexual-Assault crimes during his own sleeping hours as he lay alone, unconscious, on his own bed inside his locked rental apartment unit in Austin.


Thank you again for your reply letter.


Sincerely and Best Wishes,

current public information requestor and former Texas resident  John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

My cell phone number: (512) 993-7305.

My home phone number: (801) 355-0850.

My Date of Birth: 04-27-1957. My Place of Birth: Lincoln, Nebraska.

Texas Commission on Law Enforcement state agency,

Public Information Coordinator,

6330 East Hwy. 290, Ste. 200,

Austin, Texas 78723


February 15, 2024


Dear Open Records Coordinator for the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) state agency,


This is Texas Open Records Request in which I am seeking a copy of any and all computer records, e-mail communications, reports, findings, or other documents that at any time since April 28, 2011,  were written, generated,  received, forwarded, or sent  by your online Webmaster, or by TCOLE Enforcement Specialist Darla Dixon, or by TCOLE General Counsel and current Interim Director John Beauchamp, or by TCOLE Enforcement Major and former  Austin (TX) Police Department Officer  TJ Vineyard, or by TCOLE Enforcement Captain Doug Skolaut, and that in  each such case stated that I myself was victimized by a felony  sexual assault crime or by a special victims unit crime or by some other felony crime.


Not included in the scope of this request are  e-mail communications or letters that I myself wrote and sent to your state agency in Austin.


My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born in April 27, 1957, in Lincoln, Nebraska. 


I most recently resided in Austin, Texas, on a continuous basis from mid-March of 1997 through the morning of December 31, 2021.


In the late 1990s, when I resided as a tenant living alone inside  a fully locked efficiency apartment  at ViewPoint Apartments and complained to Austin Police about home-security issues for me inside my locked solo-occupancy unit near the University of Texas campus in west Austin, I received a helpful signed reply letter on official Austin Police Department letterhead stationery from Austin Police Officer TJ Vineyard, then a Community Liaison Officer for the section of Austin where I resided.


In that letter, Officer Vineyard assured me in writing that "you (John Kevin McMillan)  are not required to have a relationship with anyone" (approximate quote). It is possible, though,  that Officer Vineyard  made that particular statement to me in a telephone conversation he had with me during that time period. I kept a copy of the politely worded signed  letter to me from Officer Vineyard, but I was not able to find that letter  tonight inside my current apartment unit in Utah.


I have used the personal e-mail address of mcmillanj@att.net throughout the entire  time period applicable to this public information request.


My home telephone number from the applicable dates of April 28, 2011,  through December of  2021 was: (512) 342-2295. 


My cell phone number ever since August 2019, when I obtained my first-ever cell phone while living alone in northeast Austin,  Texas, has been and continues to be: (512) 993-7305.


My respective residential addresses in Austin, Texas, during the 13-year time period applicable to this public information request, along with exact or near-exact or approximate dates when I resided at each cited rental housing unit as a rent-paying approved  tenant or rent-paying approved  occupant, were:


---Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apartment 2418, Building 17 (correct exact building  number), Austin, Texas 78753. (June 21, 2019, to December 31, 2021).


-----Austin Motor Inn, 11400 North IH 35, Austin, Texas, 78753. (June 14, 2019,  to June 21, 2019).


----Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apartment 1609, Austin, TX  78759. (September 1, 2017, to June 13, 2019).


----Village Oaks Apartments, 10926 Jollyville Road, Apartment 902, Austin, Texas 78759. (late September 2015 to September 1, 2017).


----Extended Stay America, Crossland Economy Studios, 12621 Hymeadow Road, Apartment 133,  Austin, Texas 78729. (July 29, 2015, to late September 2015).


-----Wind River Crossing Apartments, 11411 Research Boulevard, Number 325, Austin, Texas 78759. (early January 2002 to July 29, 2015).


Based on very helpful advice I received from two respective Austin Police Department officers, I relocated by commercial airplane flight  from Austin, Texas, to Salt Lake City, Utah, on December 31, 2021. 


In Salt Lake County, Utah, I resided as a rent-paying occupant or tenant inside a locked solo-occupancy unit I rented at  two respective "Extended Stay America" chain hotels--- one of them in the Sugarhouse section of  Salt Lake City, Utah and,  later, a  Sandy, Utah, location (generally instead cited online as a "Midvale", Utah, location)   of that hotel chain that is situated at 7555 South Union Park Avenue in Sandy---before I moved into a solo-occupancy rental quadraplex apartment unit with the full exact address of "6819 South 1300 East, Cottonwood Heights, Utah, 84121". I moved from that quadraplex unit into  a solo-occupancy unit (below) inside an 11-story HUD-subsidized and HUD-inspected senior citizens apartment building in Salt Lake City on June 1, 2022.


Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply letter to me in response to this most recent  public information request of mine to your very influential and highly respected state agency in Austin, Texas.


Sincerely and Best Wishes,

public information requestor John Kevin McMillan.

My solo-occupancy fully locked and bolt-locked rental home address ever since June 1, 2022:

 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

My cell phone number ever since August 2019: (512) 993-7305.

My current home phone number in Salt Lake City: (801) 355-0850.
