Damion Dewayne Williams v. State

Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals

Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-14-00219-CR

DAMION DEWAYNE WILLIAMS, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 71st District Court Harrison County, Texas

Trial Court No. 12-0340X

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

ORDER

Our review of the court reporter’s record and clerk’s record in this case indicates that

both such records 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). Both records include 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(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 court reporter’s record and clerk’s record contain sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her appointee, in accordance with Rule 9.10(f), to seal the electronically filed reporter’s record and clerk’s record in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
