Description
We granted the State's petition for discretionary review to decide whether a petition for expunction qualifies as a "governmental record" under section 37.01 of the Texas Penal Code. One definition of a governmental record is "anything belonging to, received by, or kept by government for information, including a court record." Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 37.01(2)(A) (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). The definition of a court record is "a decree, judgment, order, subpoena, warrant, minutes, or other document issued by a court." Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 37.01(1) (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). We will resolve whether pleadings filed with but not issued by a court fall within the definition of a governmental record pursuant to § 37.01(2)(A).
