In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-15-00039-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF T.N.L., A CHILD, Appellant
On Appeal from the 307th District Court
Gregg County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2008-353-DR
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Our review of the clerk’s record in this case indicates that it contains “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 driver’s license number, passport number, social security
number, tax identification number or similar government-issued personal identification number.”
TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9(a)(1). Rule 9.9(b) states, “Unless the inclusion of sensitive data is specifically
required by 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).
Therefore, because the clerk’s record fails to protect sensitive data, we order the clerk of
this Court or her appointee, pursuant to the inherent power of this Court, to seal the electronically
filed clerk’s record in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
