MICHAEL CRAWFORD, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 431st District Court Denton County, Texas
Trial Court No. F16-1629-431 Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ. ORDER
Our review of the court reporter's record in this case indicates that it contains "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). Volume seven of the reporter's record includes 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).
Originally appealed to the Second Court of Appeals in Fort Worth, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to Section 73.001 of the Texas Government Code. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (West 2013). We are unaware of any conflict between precedent of the Second Court of Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue. See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.
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 volume seven of the reporter's record contains sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her appointee, in accordance with Rule 9.10(g), to seal the electronically filed volume seven of the reporter's record in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
