EX PARTE D.K. § On Appeal from the 213th District Court

§ of Tarrant County (D213-E-16934-20)

§ July 29, 2021

§ Memorandum Opinion by Justice Bassel

JUDGMENT

This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in part of the trial court’s order. It is ordered that the order of the trial

court is affirmed in part and reversed in part. We affirm the trial court’s expunction

order except with respect to its failure to hold a hearing on the unchallenged request

that Local News Only be included in the expunction order. We reverse and remand

for the trial court to hold a hearing solely to determine whether Local News Only

qualifies as an agency that should be added to the expunction order and, if so, to enter

an amended expunction order. It is further ordered that Appellant, D.K., and Appellee, the State of Texas,

shall split all of the costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
