TYRONE BROWN RAMIREZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th District Court Hopkins County, Texas Trial Court No. 2229155
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
ORDER
Our review of the clerk'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. 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 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).
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 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 clerk's record in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
