Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-20-00391-CR
No. 05-20-00392-CR
NATHANAEL JACE MIXON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 195th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F15-42179-N & F16-41127-N
ORDER
Appellant, who was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child and
aggravated sexual assault of a child younger than fourteen years of age, filed his
brief on January 4, 2021. In the brief, appellant generally identifies the victims by
initials; however, he occasionally uses one victim’s name. This Court does not
allow a party to file a brief that discloses the names of victims or the names of
witnesses who were children at the time of the offenses, or the names of any other
children discussed or identified at trial. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.10(b) (“Unless a
court orders otherwise, an electronic or paper filing with the court, including the
contents of any appendices, must not contain sensitive data.”), id. 9.10(a)(3)
(“Sensitive Data Defined. Sensitive data consists of . . . a birth date, a home
address, and the name of any person who was a minor at the time the offense was
committed.”). Accordingly, we STRIKE appellant’s brief.
We ORDER appellant to file, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order,
an amended brief that identifies any individuals who were children at the time of
this or any other offense either generically (for example, “victim”) or by initials
only, including when quoting relevant portions of the record, giving a statement of
the case, or attaching an appendix.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to Niles Illich and the
Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
