A Legal Letter Addressed to Me That I Received Via E-mail Today from Texas Assistant Attorney General James Graham in Austin

Farther below is an attached legal letter to me I received today from Texas Assistant Attorney General James Graham in Austin. The legal letter was in regard to my recent Open Records Complaint to the Attorney General of Texas that the Open Records Coordinator for the Travis County District Attorney's Office, Susie Duttinger, has allegedly failed to provide me with any written document directly responsive to my November 30, 2023,  Open Records Request to the DA's Office in Austin. 

Jose Garza has been the Travis County District Attorney ever since January 1, 2021.

My November 30, 2023,  request to the DA's Office  had sought "'a copy of any and all documents on file with each applicable division or unit of your DA's Office that were each authored by someone other than me at any time since 9 a.m. January 1, 2021, and  which each  stated that I myself was or am victimized by  a felony crime."

As of this afternoon, Thursday, April 18, 2024, I myself have still not received any document  from the Travis County DA's Office Open Records Coordinator, Susie Duttinger, that was directly responsive to that  November 30, 2023, Open Records Request of mine to her office.

Mr. John Kevin McMillan  (a former Austin (TX) resident now residing in Salt Lake City, Utah, as a permanent resident of Utah ever since January 1, 2023).

Dear Mr. McMillan:

 You requested assistance from the Office of the Attorney General (the “OAG”) in obtaining information from the Travis County District Attorney’s Office (the “district attorney’s office”) under the Public Information Act (the “Act”), chapter 552 of the Government Code. 

 Your correspondence was assigned ID# OR-23-103287-IC. 

The district attorney’s office requested a ruling from this office regarding the requested information and our office issued Open Records Letter No. 2023-043598 (2023) on December 21, 2023.  

Open Records Letter No. 2023-043598 concluded (1) with the exception of the information we marked for release, the district attorney’s office may withhold the information it marked under section 552.107(1) of the Government Code; (2) to the extent the e-mail addresses within the remaining information belong to members of the public and are not excluded by subsection 552.137(c) of the Government Code, the district attorney’s office must withhold such e-mail addresses under section 552.137 of the Government Code, unless the individuals to whom the e-mail addresses belong affirmatively consent to their release; and (3) the remaining information must be released. 

 Accordingly, as this office addressed the requested information in a letter ruling, we are closing our file on your complaint. 

If you feel the district attorney’s office has not complied with the ruling, you may send additional written comments to this office.

 Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please call the Open Government Hotline at (877) 673-6839.
