Because this appeal involves a petition for nondisclosure, which Texas Government
Code Section 411.081 classifies as a civil petition, appellant’s motion is granted.
See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 411.081(d), (f-1) (West Supp. 2014); Harris v. State,
402 S.W.3d 758, 760 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2012, no pet.). Accordingly, the
Clerk of this Court is directed to transfer this case to a civil cause number and send
out the standard notices required for civil appeals, such as for the filing fee. Because
appellant already filed his brief with the criminal cause number on May 4, 2015, no
amended brief is needed, but all future filings, including appellee’s brief, should refer
to the new civil cause number, once it is assigned.
