Before the Court is the parties' May 3, 2021 joint motion to file a supplemental reporter's record under seal. The parties state that the trial court has not entered a sealing order. We GRANT the motion only to the extent as follows: the parties may file a paper copy of Exhibit C in an envelope labeled "CONFIDENTIAL" with the Court. We will temporarily seal Exhibit C for FORTY DAYS to allow the parties to obtain an order from the trial court sealing the exhibit. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.2(c)(3); TEX. R. CIV. P. 76a. Any sealing order must comply with the requirements set forth in rule 76a(6). See TEX. R. CIV. P. 76a(6).
The docket sheet in the clerk's record reflects a motion to seal court records was filed on December 15, 2020. --------
The parties shall provide, within forty days of the date of this order, written verification whether the trial court signed a sealing order. If the trial court does not sign a sealing order within the time prescribed, the Court will vacate the portion of this order temporarily sealing Exhibit C.
If the trial court signs a sealing order, we ORDER Collin County District Court Lynne Finley to file, within forty-five days of the date of this order, a supplemental clerk's record containing the sealing order.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Andrea Thompson, Presiding Judge of the 416th Judicial District Court; Ms. Finley; and, the parties.
