IN THE INTEREST OF N.G.J., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 196th District Court Hunt County, Texas
Trial Court No. 80639
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. ORDER

This Court, upon review of the reporter's record filed in this case, has found that it contains the full name of the child involved in this appeal from a parental-rights termination.

Rule 9.8, titled "Protection of Minor's Identity in Parental-Rights Termination Cases" states,

In an appeal or an original proceeding in an appellate court, arising out of a case in which the termination of parental rights was at issue:



(1) except for a docketing statement, in all papers submitted to the court, including all appendix items submitted with a brief, petition, or motion:



(A) a minor must be identified only by an alias unless the court orders otherwise;



(B) the court may order that a minor's parent or other family member be identified only by an alias if necessary to protect a minor's identity; and



(C) all documents must be redacted accordingly . . . .

TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8(b)(1).

Therefore, because the reporter's record fails to protect the minor's identity, we order the Clerk of this Court, or her appointee, pursuant to the inherent power of this Court, to seal the electronically filed reporter's record in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
