To: Ms. Hester Brown-Hempel in the Office of the Ombudsman for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission state agency,

Thank you for your brief reply note (below) today in regard to a cited "question" that I had myself posed to or shared with your state agency----a question from myself that, as you politely informed me in your previous e-mail reply letter (below) to me on Monday (November 27), had been referred to a "complaint resolution specialist" in your government agency, you stated in writing.

Ms Brown-Hempel, I would like to respectfully mention that your reply note to me today did not indicate to me which specific question that I had either shared with or posed to your state agency is the question to which your State Government of Texas agency referred in your November 27, 2017, e-mail reply note (below) to me.

For instance, is the cited question from me that prompted your Nov. 27 reply e-mail note to me the following question I posed in a November 23, 2017,
e-mail letter of mine that I had carbon-copied to your commission, and I quote directly from portions of that letter I wrote:

"John McMillan

"Dear 'Texas Department of State Health Services' state agency officials in Austin,


"Does your State Government of Texas agency have legal authority over any and all home-health care providers or home-medical care providers that administer or offer medical services to an official tenant inside a rental apartment unit at an apartment complex anywhere in Texas?..."

Thank you in advance, Ms. Brown-Hempel, for your follow-up reply note to me which clarifies this issue.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.

Subject: Re: McMillian, John - Question- A11272017.0130053

Dear Distinguished and Very Influential Ombudsman for the "Texas Health and Human Services Commission" (HHSC) state agency,

Thank you for your reply note to me this morning in response to a cited question from myself contained in a recent e-mail I sent to your state agency.

I hope you won't mind my pointing out that the subject heading of your reply letter to me contained an incorrect spelling of my last name. The correct spelling of my last name is "McMillan".

Would you please clarify for me in writing the question of mine in regard to which your Ombudsman Office of the HHSC is preparing a written response, along with the cited date and time and subject heading of the applicable recent e-mail letter of mine that prompted your e-mail reply to me this morning?

Thank you in advance for your very helpful reply note to me on this.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.
