Subject: Fw: No Final TXOAG Reply re: My PIR Complaint vs DA

March 26, 2024

Dear Open Records Assistance Staff Members for the Attorney General of Texas state agency headquarters  offices in Austin,

I am very surprised  that your state agency has not provided me with a reply note indicating whether my current Open Records Complaint against the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin has been resolved or closed or re-opened.

The official ID number your state agency has issued for that legal complaint from me is: 

OR-23-103287-IC

My current  Open Records Complaint to your state agency is focused on the alleged failure by the Travis County District Attorney's Office Public Information Coordinator  to send me any reply letter in response to my November 30, 2023,  public information request to that DA's Office.

My November 30, 2023,  request to the DA in Austin  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.''

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

Open Records complainant John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

My cell phone: (512) 993-7305.

My Date of Birth: 4-27-1957. I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska.

March 9, 2024

Dear Open Records Assistance Staff Members and  Communications Staff Members for the Office of Attorney General of Texas state agency in Austin,

I have not received any reply e-mail message from your very influential State of Texas agency in response to this message I sent (see farther below for complete text of that message) to your Public Information Division staff members on March 5, 2024:

"I still have not received from your state agency a final  response from you on my currently-active Open Records Complaint against the Public Information Coordinator for the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas.

"I  am seeking a follow-up note  from you on whether the Travis County District Attorney's Office has  legal  documents on file which  state that I myself was or am victimized by a felony crime at any time since 9 a.m. January 1, 2021. 

"I had submitted an Open Records  Complaint to your state agency because I do not recall having received any reply to me from the Travis County DA's Office on whether they have a document on file authored by someone other than me at any time since 9 a.m. January 1, 2021, which stated that I myself was or am victimized by a felony crime.

"The official Identification Number that the Attorney General of Texas on December 283, assigned to my Open Records complaint from myself  is: ID# OR-23-103287-IC.

"My legal complaint through your state agency  alleges that the Travis County DA's Office has allegedly failed to respond in writing to my November 30, 2023, public information request to that government agency. 

"My November 30, 2023,  request to the DA 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.'"

Thank you in advance for your helpful reply letter to me on this very important criminal-law issue for myself. I am a self-identified longstanding continuous Home-invasion Sexual-Assault Crimes and Personal-Injury-Crimes Victim and complainant.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

public information requestor, Open Records Complainant, and permanently-alcohol-free (ever since 1990), lifelong-tobacco-free, lifelong-nonvaping, permanently marijuana-free (ever since 1984), facially-cleanshaven, consistently clean-talking and non-profane, lifelong-tattoo-less, permanently jewelry-less, English-Scottish-German-American in ancestry and Exclusively Monoracial and "Anglosexual" (White Non-Hispanic Only) in my own sexual orientation, non-sadomasochistic and anti-S&M, platonicly polite, longtime celibate (ever since one total day in 1995), dependably civil and law-abiding and very honest and non-stalking and public-safety-minded and vigilant and conscientious and non-pranking, psychologically healthy and disease-free and fully up-to-date on all applicable vaccinations for myself, gainfully employed single adult white non-Hispanic male former Texan resident John Kevin McMillan.

A respectful FYI to each of you on the following.

Please excuse the typographical error that occurred when I was attempting to type the final portion of an e-mail address on my cell phone for a very honorable State Government of Texas official, State Rep. Donna Howard, that would have stated "texas.gov". Those letters somehow got typed elsewhere----after the initials "DA" at the end of my subject heading. 

Please note that below, I have removed those extraneous letters "xss.gob" from the subject heading. I attempted to remove those letters from the "FW:" message above, but was informed by an automated message to me on my screen that that action by myself would delete the entire e-mail.

Best Wishes,

from gainfully employed dependably vigilant and law-abiding white male adult single gentleman and longstanding criminal-law complainant John Kevin McMillan of Salt Lake City, Utah.

I am a self-identified continuous year-round personal-injury-crimes victim, longtime-celibate (ever since one total day in 1995) adult gentleman who is myself facially cleanshaven and repulsed by facial hair on men, dependably clean-talking (the "F" word is anathema to me) and repulsed by the profanity and obscene speech verbalized by others, hygienic, fully vaccinated against every applicable contagious disease for which I can obtain a vaccine for myself that is authorized by my current Primary Care Physician, permanently marijuana-free ever since 1984 and very anti-marijuana-minded, lifelong-illicit-drug-free in regard to any and all illicit drugs other than marijuana, lifelong-tattoo-less-and-repulsed-by-tattoos, and permanently jewelry-less and repulsed by tongue rings and nostril rings and ear-rings on male adult persons.

My Date of Birth: 4-27-1957. I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am a lifelong American citizen. I might add politely that I as a medically healthy, intellectually strong, creatively vital, physically active white English-Scottish-German-ancestry adult gentleman DO NOT agree to ever "date" or to ever have any "sexual contact" with any person more than 12 months older than me. I might add that I myself am an exclusively MONORACIAL gentleman in my own sexual orientation --- I DO NOT agree to ever have any "sexual contact" with any person who is outside of my own White Non-Hispanic Racial Group. In my own mutual-consent personal platonic relationships I am also, of course, MONORACIAL in regard to the vast majority of those types of personal relationships for myself during my off-duty hours. I moved to Utah partly to pursue a White Anglo-Saxon-centered mutual-consent personal life during my leisuretime, with an emphasis on natural-blond-haired politely masculine facially cleanshaven hygienic law-abiding white gentlemen age 21 or over as the single adult gentlemen I get along with the best and feel calmest with and enjoy talking with the most while interacting with them in person.

Subject: No Final Reply from TXOAG re: My PIR Complaint vs DA

March 5, 2024

Dear Attorney General of Texas state  agency officials in Austin,

I still have not received from your state agency a final  response from you on my currently-active Open Records Complaint against the Public Information Coordinator for the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas.

I  am seeking a follow-up note  from you on whether the Travis County District Attorney's Office has  legal  documents on file which  state that I myself was or am victimized by a felony crime at any time since 9 a.m. January 1, 2021. 

I had submitted an Open Records  Complaint to your state agency because I do not recall having received any reply to me from the Travis County DA's Office on whether they have a document on file authored by someone other than me at any time since 9 a.m. January 1, 2021, which stated that I myself was or am victimized by a felony crime.

The official Identification Number that the Attorney General of Texas on December 283, assigned to my Open Records complaint from myself  is: ID# OR-23-103287-IC.

My legal complaint through your state agency  alleges that the Travis County DA's Office has allegedly failed to respond in writing to my November 30, 2023, public information request to that government agency. 

My November 30, 2023,  request to the DA 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." 

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

from Permanently Alcohol-free (ever since 1990),  Lifelong-Tobacco-free, Very Honest and Law-abiding, Single Adult Male White Anglo-Saxon Non-Hispanic Utahn Complainant and Requestor and former Austin (TX) resident John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

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

My current home phone number ever since 2022: (801) 355-0850.

>> "On February 1, 2024, the Office of the Attorney General ('OAG') received a public information request under the Public Information Act ('PIA'), Chapter 552, Government Code, from Mr. John (Kevin) McMillan (of Salt Lake City, Utah). A copy of the request is attached as Exhibit A. In accordance with section 552.3031 of the Government Code, this brief was timely hand-delivered on February 9, 2024. 

>>

>> "Except for the submitted information, the OAG  will release the responsive  information  with redactions allowed by law.  See Open Records Decision No. 684 (2009) (governmental bodies may withhold certain information, including personal e-mail addresses, without necessity of requesting (a) ruling under Gov’t Code § 552.301). 

>>

>> "The OAG asserts, however, that the submitted information is excepted from required public disclosure under the PIA. Pursuant to sections 552.301(b) and 552.301(e) of the Government Code, this brief is submitted to seek a decision as to whether section 552.111  of the Government Code applies  to the submitted  information. We have copied the requestor  as a recipient of this brief pursuant to sections 552.301(d) and  552.301(e-1) of the Government Code. 

>> "The information at issue is attached as Exhibit B. 

>>  "I.  Information Excepted From Required Public Disclosure Under Section 552.111: Intraagency Communications Reflecting Deliberative Process of the OAG  

>>

>> "Section 552.111 of the Government Code excepts from required public disclosure '[a]n interagency or intraagency memorandum or letter that would not be available by law to a party in litigation with the agency.' Gov’t Code § 552.111. Section 552.111 excepts those internal communications consisting of advice, recommendations, or opinions reflecting the policy making processes of a governmental body. See Open Records Decision No. 615 at 5 (1993); accord(sic) City of Garland v. Dallas Morning News, 969 S.W.2d 548, 556 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1998) ('Section 552.111 . . . excepts only those internal communications consisting of advice, recommendations, and opinions reflecting the policy-making processes of the governmental body at issue.'), affirmed, 22 S.W.3d 351 (Tex. 2000). 

>>

>> "The purpose of section 552.111 is 'to protect advice and opinions on policy matters and to encourage frank and open discussion within an agency in connection with its decision-making processes.' Dallas Morning News, 969 S.W.2d at 556. 

>>

>> "Your office has concluded that a preliminary draft of a document that is intended for public release in its final form necessarily represents the drafter's advice, opinion, and recommendation regarding the form and content of the final document, so as to be excepted from disclosure under section 552.111. See Open Records Decision No. 559 at 2 (1990) (applying statutory predecessor). 

>>

>> "Section 552.111 protects factual information in the draft that also will be included in the final version of the document. See id. at  2-3. Thus, section 552.111 encompasses the entire contents, including comments, underlining, deletions, and proofreading marks, of a preliminary draft of a policymaking document. See id. at 2. However, a governmental body may only withhold a draft policymaking document if the final form of this document is intended for public release. Your office has previously ruled that draft letter rulings are excepted from public disclosure under section 552.111. See Open Records Letter Nos. 2012-00334 (2012), 2010-16830 (2010).

>>

>> "In this instance, the submitted document is a draft enforcement letter that has been released to the public in final form.(footnote)1.

>>

>> "(Footnote)1 The OAG has released the final version of the enforcement letter to the requestor.

>>

>> "The draft was made and communicated to OAG employees in furtherance of the OAG's policy of maintaining uniformity in the application, operation, and interpretation of the PIA. See Gov't Code 552.011. Because the draft reflects the deliberative process of OAG policymakers, the OAG asserts it may be withheld in its entirety under section 552.111 of the Government Code and the deliberative process privilege.

>>

>> "II. Conclusion

>> "The OAG respectfully requests a decision from the Open Records Division regarding the applicability of the argued exception as provided by the PlA.
