Texas Western Bankruptcy Court Notice - Local Rules Review Process

Tuesday, May 24, 2022

Dear Bankruptcy Practitioners,

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas has selected a small team of volunteer attorneys to serve on its Local Rules Committee. 

The committee, chaired by Chief Bankruptcy Judge Craig A. Gargotta, is tasked with reviewing the court’s local rules and standing orders and proposing revisions for judicial review.  The review process will take several months.  A draft of the proposed Local Rules of Practice will be circulated for public comment later this year.  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 email rules@txwb.uscourts.gov.
