In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-14-00156-CR
SHAWN SMITH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 102nd District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 13-F-106-102
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Our review of the court reporter’s record in this case indicates that such 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 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).
The court reporter’s record includes the names of persons who were minors 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 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 reporter’s record, including all
exhibits and DVD’s, in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
