Christian Sibley v. State

Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals

Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-15-00009-CR

CHRISTIAN SIBLEY, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Gregg County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2013-2143

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

ORDER

Our review of the court reporter’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 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 reporter’s record contains numerous references to this sensitive data. 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(f) 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(f). Therefore, because the reporter’s record contains sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her appointee, in accord with Rule 9.10(f), to seal the electronically filed reporter’s record in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
