Contacting the Court:

For filing questions, contact the Clerk’s Office at: (512) 916-5237.

For procedural questions regarding matters pending before the court, email the law clerks, the courtroom deputy, and copy all affected parties. The trustee in chapter 7, 11 (where applicable), 12, and 13 cases should also be copied. A representative from the U.S. Trustee’s office should be copied in cases where the debtor in possession is acting as the trustee. Because it is difficult to include all affected parties on phone calls, you must communicate with chambers about pending cases only through email copied on affected parties.

If the parties anticipate that 30 minutes is not enough time for all sides to present argument and evidence for their matter, the parties must file a motion requesting a special setting. A form motion and order are provided below in the “Forms” section of this webpage. If the parties do not file a motion for a special setting and then exceed 30 minutes at their set hearing time, the Court may stop the hearing after 30 minutes and continue the hearing to a later date.

For questions about hearing settings, exhibits, and technical questions about Zoom/telephonic hearings, email the courtroom deputy and copy the law clerks. Do not contact the courtroom deputy or the law clerks for legal advice or interpretation of the Local Rules.
