JAMES ROBERT REYNOLDS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 5th District Court Cass County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019F00093 Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ. ORDER
Our review of the clerk's record and the reporter'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 birth date, a home address, and the name of any person who was a minor at the time the offense was committed." TEX. R. APP. P. 9.10(a)(3). Sensitive data also 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 contains social security numbers and the names of persons who were minors at the time the offense was committed. Volumes three, four, five, and six of the reporter's record contains the names of persons who were minors at the time the offense was committed. 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 volumes three through six of the reporter'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 and volumes three through six of the reporter's record.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
