                                     The STATE of Texas,
                                           Appellee

                From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 19-1069-CR-B
                        Honorable William D. Old III, Judge Presiding

                                        ORDER
        Appellant Santos Reina filed a motion seeking access to a portion of the record that is
sealed. The motion is GRANTED. The Clerk of this court is instructed to provide a copy of the
sealed record to appellant’s attorney. All parties and their attorneys are ORDERED not to share
the contents of the sealed record with any person except to the extent necessary to prepare their
respective briefs.
    In the event the parties reference the sealed record in their respective briefs, they are
ORDERED to comply with the following procedure:
               1. The party filing the brief must file the brief in paper form only, with a
       cover letter informing the Clerk of this court that the brief references the sealed
       record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.2(c)(3) (exception to electronic filing for documents
       under seal).
               2. Concurrently, the party must file a notice stating whether the brief
       discloses protected information and where in the brief such information is
       disclosed.
               3. Within seven days after the brief is filed, the opposing party may file a
       notice stating whether the brief discloses protected information and where in the
       brief such information is disclosed.
               4. After receiving the notice or notices, this court will determine whether
       the brief or a portion of the brief will remain filed under seal. This court may
                                                                                      FILE COPY

      order a party to file a redacted brief or order other measures less restrictive than
      the sealing of the entire brief.
