THONG QUOC PHAM, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 416th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 416-82314-2021
ORDER
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE
On June 26, 2022, counsel filed an Anders brief in support of her motion to withdraw. A review of the Anders brief reveals that on pages 11 through 14, counsel discloses the full name of W.T., a witness who testified about an offense committed against her when she was a child.
This Court does not allow a party to file a brief that discloses the names of victims or witnesses who were children at the time of the offenses, or the names of any other children discussed or identified at trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.10(b) ("Unless a court orders otherwise, an electronic or paper filing with the court, including the contents of any appendices, must not contain sensitive data."), id. 9.10(a)(3) ("Sensitive Data Defined. Sensitive data consists of . . . a birth date, a home address, and the name of any person who was a minor at the time the offense was committed."). Accordingly, we STRIKE counsel's Anders brief.
We ORDER counsel to file, within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order, an amended Anders brief that identifies all individuals who were children at the time of this or any other offense either generically (for example, "victim") or by initials only, including when quoting relevant portions of the record or giving a statement of the case.
