FERNANDO SOTELO RUIZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 276th District Court Morris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11494-CR Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ. ORDER
Our review of the reporter's record and the clerk'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). The reporter's record and the clerk's record contain the name of a person who was a minor 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 reporter's record and the clerk'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 reporter's record and clerk's record.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
