In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-15-00025-CR
THOMAS DEAN RICHARDSON, JR., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 71st District Court
Harrison County, Texas
Trial Court No. 13-0182X
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Our review of the clerk’s record in this case indicates that this record 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 clerk’s record contains the appellant’s social security
number. 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
clerk’s record contains sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her appointee, in
accordance with Rule 9.10(f), to seal the electronically filed clerk’s record in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
