MIKAYLA POTEET, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 145th District Court Nacogdoches County, Texas
Trial Court No. F1522117 Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ. ORDER
Our review of the clerk's record and the supplemental clerk's record in this case indicates that they contain "sensitive data" as that phrase is defined in Rule 9.10 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.10(a). Sensitive data includes "a driver's license number, passport number, social security number, tax identification number or similar government-issued personal identification number." TEX. R. APP. P. 9.10(a)(1). The clerk's record and the supplemental clerk's record include a social security number. Rule 9.10(b) states, "Unless a court orders otherwise, an electronic or paper filing with the court, including the contents of any appendices, must not contain sensitive data." TEX. R. APP. P. 9.10(b).
Rule 9.10(g) provides, "A court may also order that a document be filed under seal in paper form or electronic form, without redaction." TEX. R. APP. P. 9.10(g). Therefore, because the clerk's record and the supplemental clerk's record contain sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her appointee, in accordance with Rule 9.10(g), to seal the electronically filed clerk's record in this case.
Originally appealed to the Twelfth Court of Appeals in Tyler, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 73.001. We are unaware of any conflict between precedent of the Twelfth Court of Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
