Joseph Leo Strehl, III v. State

Opinion

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

No. 06-15-00117-CR

JOSEPH LEO STREHL, III, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 4th District Court Rusk County, Texas Trial Court No. CR15-075

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

Our review of the court reporter’s record in this case indicates that volume five 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). Volume five of the reporter’s record includes

social security numbers. 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 contains sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her appointee, in

accordance with Rule 9.10(f), to seal volume five of the electronically filed reporter’s record in

this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
