VAL RYAN AND JOY RYAN, Appellees
On Appeal from the 4th District Court
Rusk County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2013-243
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Our review of the reporter’s record in this case indicates that certain of the documents
collectively marked as Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 11 contain “sensitive data” as that phrase is defined
in Rule 9.9 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9(a). Sensitive data
includes “a bank account number, credit card number, or other financial account number.” TEX.
R. APP. P. 9.9(a)(2). Certain of the documents included in Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 1 contain bank
account numbers. Rule 9.9(b) states, “Unless the inclusion of sensitive data is specifically required
by a statute, court rule, or administrative regulation, an electronic or paper document containing
sensitive data may not be filed with a court unless the sensitive data is redacted.” TEX. R. APP. P.
9.9(b).
Because we are aware of no statute, court rule, or administrative regulation requiring
inclusion of these bank account numbers in this record and because the reporter’s record failed to
protect this sensitive data through redaction, we order the Clerk of this Court, or her appointee,
pursuant to the inherent power of this Court, to seal the volume of the reporter’s record containing
Plaintiff’s Exhibit No. 1.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
BY THE COURT
