STATEMENT OF EVENTS OF 10/13/2000 & 11/13/2000

1. At 12:00pm, CDT, October 13, 2000 (10/13/2000), UNKNOWN City of Haltom City,
Texas "Code Enforcer" arrived, confronted my Father, Jack Mincy, in
at the foot of this household's porch, well inside of this real property's 
"legally protected area". This UNKNOWN "Code Enforcer" claimed that
he had "full" State of Texas "police powers", and that he had inspected "our"
family's 1976 Plymouth automoblie, and "he" said he found it to be "in violation 
of the City of Haltom City's "code" , and demanded that the "junk car" be removed.
This automobile was NOT a "junk car", and  has "in fact" since, been correctly "inspected"
by a  Texas "certified" mechanic, who issued a "valid" inspection sticker for the
automoble on November 2, 2000. This "same" automobile already had possesed
a "valid" License "tag", "valid" unitll 11/1/2001. 

2. Yesterday, November 15, 2000 (11/15/2000), the Haltom City Code Enforcement Office delivered by
"certified" mail, through the US Postal Service, a "letter" (dated on "11/13/2000"),
demanding that my Father, Jack Mincy, "must" remove his 1976 automobile, which
possess ALL the "documents" required by Texas, which are a "valid" 
INSPECTION "sticker, AND "valid" LICENSE "tag", and "valid" insurance" policies.

This "Code Enforcement" officer claims that he was acting according to a complaint
from Mrs. L. C. Threadgill, of  5421 Mallory Drive, Haltom City, Texas, a "private
citizen". However, this automoblie is parked in such a way, that it "faces" exactly
"opposite" any possible view from the street. Mrs Treadgill lives in a house whose
windows are located in such ways as to permit close view of  the "front" of this  same
auotmobile. She has "frequently" made complaints to the Haltom City Police, over "minor" 
legal issues since at least 1972. In Texas,  all "stickers" used for  LICENSE "tags" and for
INSPECTION, are placed by State law, on the "windshield" of each automoble. And in
Texas, "no" Police officer may take this kind of action "without" the "reasonable"
suspecion of such a violation, based on "their" ability to "actually" see these two stickers
from the street. Therefore, this "Code Enforcer", who did not see the single "sticker" which
was "then" (10/13/2000) "expired", could NOT see the "sticker" from the "street". ONLY
by the "violation" of Texas "trespass" laws, could he have seen that. 

3. This is only the "latest" attempt by the City of Haltom City, Texas, to engage in
"unlawful" activity against this family, by depriving this family or one of  it's members,
 of it's United States "rights",  ALL in violation of 18 USC 241, 242, and 42 USC 1983.
