In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-16-00214-CR
PATRICK LEE WALLACE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th District Court
Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1323172
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 9.10 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(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 the
clerk’s record contains sensitive data, we order the clerk of this Court or her appointee, in
accordance with Rule 9.10(g), to seal the electronically filed clerk’s record in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
