PRINEPHONE 713-274-2800Christopher Prine, Clerk301 Fannin, Suite 245Houston, Texas 77002September 17, 2014RE: Destruction of civil case records.Dear District and County Clerks:Beginning December 16, 2014, the Fourteenth Court of Appeals will begin destruction of recordsin civil cases that have been finally disposed of and stored for at least six years. See Tex. Gov’t CodeAnn. § 51.204(d). Prior to destruction, records requested by a district or county clerk, in accordance withrecords retention schedules for records of district and county clerks, may be returned to their respectiveoffices. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 51.204(d) (1). Additionally, records of the appellate courtdetermined to be archival state records will be forwarded to the Texas State Library and ArchivesCommission for preservation.The following criteria may be considered when identifying archival state records: (1) anylandmark legal opinion; (2) any case with a high degree of inherent legal interest, including a case inwhich the Texas Supreme Court granted an application for petition for review; (3) any case that involvedsignificant people or events; (4) any case that received a high degree of media attention; or (5) recordsthat, in the opinion of the Clerk or other person designated by the Court, contain highly concentrated,unique, and valuable information unlikely to be found in any other source available to researchers.Although the Fourteenth Court of Appeals is currently reviewing all of the cases identified fordestruction, I welcome comments from the various counties within our jurisdiction. The civil recordsunder consideration for destruction are the appeals and original proceedings that were finally disposed ofand stored during the calendar year of 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, & 1999. For your convenience, a list ofcases from your county, grouped by year, for each year that a case was disposed of and stored by thisCourt is attached. Please review the list of cases for both local records retention compliance and, ifdesired, the archival criteria above. I would ask that special attention be given to identify those cases thatmay have received a high degree of media attention in your area. Anyone who wishes to suggest that aspecific civil case should not be destroyed may contact the Clerk of the Court atFiling14th@14thcoa.courts.state.tx.us. The deadline to contact the Fourteenth Court of Appeals isDecember 16, 2014.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.Very truly yours,Christopher A. Prine, Clerk
