The current-bench joint order on TRCP 21c sensitive data: filings must have sensitive data redacted (with 21c(e) resubmission when violated); six recognized at-risk document classes — custody evaluations, psychological evaluations, drug-test results, full DFPS case records, mental-health records, and medical records — may be restricted by the District Clerk from internet posting without further order (though not sealed absent a sealing order); and a document that must contain unredacted sensitive data is marked "NOTICE: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS SENSITIVE DATA," which the clerk may likewise restrict from online posting. Effective Jan. 1, 2026.
Texas > Fannin County > the 336th District Court and Fannin County Court at Law — cases filed in Fannin County. Signed by Presiding Judges Christina Tillett and Charles Butler; filed Jan. 13, 2026.
"Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 21c defines 'Sensitive Data' and prohibits attorneys and parties from filing documents containing unredacted sensitive data. TRCP 21c requires sensitive data to be redacted. If a filed document contains unredacted sensitive data in violation of the Rule, the clerk may require or allow the party to resubmit a redacted, substitute document pursuant to Rule 21c(e), which may be posted on the internet." "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Courts recognize the risk that the following documents may contain sensitive data protected under Rule 21c or other laws: custody evaluations; psychological evaluations; drug test results; full Department of Family and Protective Services Case Records; mental health records; and medical records. The District Clerk may, without further order of the Court, restrict the above-listed documents from being posted on the internet. However, these documents are not sealed unless a party obtains a court order sealing the document." "Furthermore, if a document must contain unredacted sensitive data, the filing party must notify the clerk by marking it 'NOTICE: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS SENSITIVE DATA.' The District Clerk may, without further order of the court, restrict any document so marked from being posted on the internet. However, these documents are not sealed unless a party obtains a court order sealing the document." "IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above order is effective January 1, 2026."
