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

                  No. 06-14-00100-CV

            MARK J. MUELLER, Appellant

                           V.

  JAMES H. DAVIS, INDIVIDUALLY, JAMES H. DAVIS
    D/B/A J.D. MINERALS, AND JDMI, LLC, Appellees

         On Appeal from the 71st District Court
               Harrison County, Texas
               Trial Court No. 11-0858

      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.

                                               BY THE COURT
