In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-17-00144-CR
JAMES WILLIAM UTZMAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 124th District Court
Gregg County, Texas
Trial Court No. 46,051-B
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Our review of the reporter’s record in this case indicates that it 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 a 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(g) 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(g). Therefore, because volume
five of the reporter’s record contains sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her
appointee, in accordance with Rule 9.10(g), to seal volume five of the electronically filed reporter’s
record in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
