Ronald Mullins v. State

Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

Nos. 06-17-00133-CR & 06-17-00134-CR

RONALD MULLINS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 402nd District Court Wood County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 20,230-2008 & 20,229-2008

Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, 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(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 clerk’s record contains 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 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.
