MiKayla Poteet v. State ( 2019 )

In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-19-00071-CR
MIKAYLA POTEET, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 145th District Court
Nacogdoches County, Texas
Trial Court No. F1522117
Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.
ORDER
Our review of the clerk’s record and the supplemental clerk’s record in this case indicates
that they contain “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
and the supplemental clerk’s record include a 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 and the supplemental clerk’s record contain 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. 1
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Originally appealed to the Twelfth Court of Appeals in Tyler, this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas
Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001. We are unaware of
any conflict between precedent of the Twelfth Court of Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 41.3.
