Lawrence Morgan v. State

Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana _______________________________ 06-19-00254-CR _______________________________

LAWRENCE MORGAN, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 5th District Court Bowie County, Texas Trial Court No. 17F0521-005

Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.

ORDER Our review of the reporter’s record and the clerk’s record 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 clerk’s record and volumes three, four, and five of the reporter’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 clerk’s record and volumes three, four, and five 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, four, and five of the reporter’s record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
