Texas Western Bankruptcy Court Notice: Standing Local Rules Committee

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas has instituted a standing Local Rules Committee comprised of various stakeholders to review the Court's Local Rules and standing orders and to recommend revisions to the Court. The work of the standing committee will not be a wholesale revision of the Local Rules, but the consideration of discrete amendments to the Local Rules to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Court's procedures, as well as to ensure continued consistency with federal law.

The committee is co-chaired by Bankruptcy Judges Aubrey L. Thomas and Christopher G. Bradley. The review is expected to take several months. The committee will consider proposed changes to the local rules on a quarterly basis. After approval by the committee, a draft of the proposed Local Rules will be posted for public comment. But you don't need to wait until then to participate in the process.

If you have any questions about the review process or wish to present ideas or suggestions for new or revised local rules, form pleadings, orders, or procedures, please see www.txwb.uscourts.gov/local-rules-committee for more information.

Best regards,

United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas
