In The
              Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

                   No. 06-22-00009-CR

        DAMIEN O'KEITH LAWSON, Appellant

                            V.

           THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

          On Appeal from the 5th District Court
                  Cass County, Texas
              Trial Court No. 2021F00028

      Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
                                          ORDER

       Our review of the clerk’s record and the reporter’s record in this matter indicates that

they contain unredacted “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 clerk’s record includes the name of a person who

was a minor at the time the offense was committed. Likewise, volumes two through five of the

reporter’s record and State’s exhibits 3 and 4a through 4d include the name of a person who was

a minor 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(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, volumes two through five of the reporter’s record, and State’s exhibits 3 and

4a through 4d contain unredacted 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,

volumes two through five of the reporter’s record, and State’s exhibits 3 and 4a through 4d.

       IT IS SO ORDERED.
