to get information concerning a "hot team." He said subject

also inquires of the line of him.

he has called the subject, and these calls primarily were with

regard to a "heist" of MALLARD's poker game in Austin several

months ago.

him in determining the identities of the perpetrators of the

heist.

MALLARD advised that he has known subject only for

about one year; however, he is acquainted with people who have
