Subject: 2-15-24 TCOLE PIR: docs citing me as felony-crime victim

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.
