In the matter of M.S.
314th District Court of Harris County Trial court No. 2022-00784J
MEMORANDUM ORDER
SARAH BETH LANDAU, JUDGE
Appellant's brief tendered on November 18, 2024, does not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.8 and 9.9. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.8(c) requiring that in an appeal, arising out of a case under Title 3 of the Family Code, "in all papers submitted to the court, including all appendix items submitted with a brief," "a minor must be identified only by an alias" and "all documents must be redacted accordingly"); Tex.R.App.P. 9.9 (concerning privacy protection for documents filed in civil cases). This is an appeal arising under Title 3 of the Family Code, but the appellant's brief contains appellant's full name and includes unredacted sensitive data in its attachment.
Accordingly, appellant's brief tendered on November 18, 2024, is stricken. Appellant is ordered to file a corrected brief that protects identity and privacy as mandated by Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.8 and 9.9. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.8(c), 9.9. The corrected brief must be filed within 10 days of the date of this order.
Appellee's brief shall be due 30 days after the filing of appellant's corrected brief.
It is so ORDERED.
