(a)   Motions for Relief from Stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d).

       (1)  Motions.

             (A)   Motions seeking relief from the automatic stay shall state the specific relief requested,
                     shall state with specificity the facts that support the relief requested, shall state the provision
                     of 11 U.S.C. § 362(d) under which relief is sought, and shall state Movant’s belief as to the value
                     of any collateral and the basis for such belief.

            (B)   If the motion is filed in a chapter 11 or chapter 13 case with respect to residential real
                    property and if non-payment of any post-petition payment is a ground for relief, at the time the
                    motion is filed the movant shall serve the debtor, debtor’s counsel, and trustee with an affidavit
                    and a pay history showing, at a minimum, the months in which the default was alleged to have
                    occurred and the amount and character of the default, in a form substantially in compliance with
                    Appendix L-4001-1.

           (C)   By signing the certificate of service on the motion, the movant certifies that the affidavit
                  and pay history required by subsection (B) were served on the debtor, debtor’s counsel, and trustee
                  in accordance with this Rule. Failure to serve the affidavit and pay history in accordance with
                  this Rule may be grounds for the denial of the relief requested in the motion.

           (D)   If a creditor is moving for relief from stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(1), the creditor shall
                   file with the motion a payment history or documentation specifying the month(s) in which the debtor
                   failed to make a payment, any failure to satisfy an escrow shortage (including the amount of the
                   shortage and the period of time involved), and any failure to maintain insurance (including the
                   amount of shortage and the period of time involved).

            (E)   Motions for relief from stay shall not be combined with other forms of relief except those
                   allowed by 11 U.S.C. §§ 362 and 1205. Movants wishing to waive the 30 day hearing requirement of 
                   11U.S.C. § 362(e) must include such waiver in the caption of the motion.

      (2)  Negative Notice.

      A movant may file a motion seeking relief from stay or a motion for adequate protection (if the
      movant is not being provided adequate protection under the plan or objects to the adequate payment
      proposed under the plan) using the following 14 day negative notice language:

            This pleading requests relief that may be adverse to your interests.

            If no timely response is filed within 14 days from the date of service, the relief requested herein
            may be granted without a hearing being held.

            A timely filed response is necessary for a hearing to be held. Any response must be timely filed with the
            United States Bankruptcy Clerk, Western District of Texas, [Insert mailing address of applicable Clerk’s office].
            If a timely response is filed, the Court will then set a hearing on the Motion, and
            you will be provided with notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing. If you do not attend
            the hearing, the Court may decide that you do not oppose the Motion.

      If this negative notice language is used, the movant will be deemed to have waived entitlement to
      an initial hearing within 30 days. If negative notice language is not used, then the motion will be
      set within 30 days of its filing, as provided in 11 U.S.C. § 362(e), unless the movant
      waives the 30 day hearing requirement in the caption of the motion.

      (3)  Responses.

      If the motion includes negative notice language, a hearing will be held only if a timely response
      is filed, or if the Court decides that a hearing is appropriate. A response shall comply with
      L.Rule 9014-1(b). Furthermore, if the party filing a response disagrees with the value of collateral
      set forth in the motion, the party shall state its belief as to the value of any collateral and the
      basis for such belief.

      (4)  Use of Affidavits.

            (A)   Pursuant to FRCP 43(c), a movant may use affidavits as evidence at the hearing in support of
                    the factual allegations in the motion. If affidavits will be used, the affidavit shall be filed
                    with the Clerk and be served pursuant to L. Rule 9013-1 when the motion is served.

             (B)   A respondent may also use affidavits as evidence at the hearing. The affidavits shall be
                    filed with the Clerk and be served pursuant to L. Rule 9013-1 either
                    (i) at the same time the response is filed, if one is required under this Rule or
                    (ii) within 14 days of the date of service of the motion, if no response is required under this Rule.

            (C)  The use of affidavits does not preclude the use of witnesses at the hearing.

      (5)  Value.

      The statement of belief as to value of any collateral and the basis for such belief that is
      required to be included in the motion or response is for notice purposes only, shall not be construed as
      or deemed to be a judicial admission, shall not be used in any other proceeding, and may be amended
      by further evidence offered at the hearing on the motion (or any other hearing).

      (6)  Hearings.

      A hearing on a motion for relief from automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(e) shall be consolidated
      with the final hearing under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d) unless the Court, for cause, rules otherwise at the
      time of the hearing.

(b)   Motions for Extensions of Stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(c)(3)(B).

A party in interest seeking relief under 11 U.S.C. § 362(c)(3)(B) shall file a motion styled
“Motion for Extension of Stay Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(c)(3)(B).” If the motion is filed within
7 days after the petition was filed, the Court will set an expedited hearing and debtor’s counsel
shall give notice of the expedited hearing. If the motion is filed more than 7 days after the
petition was filed, the motion must be accompanied by a separate motion for expedited hearing.

(c)   Motions for Imposition of Stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(c)(4)(B).

A party in interest seeking relief under 11 U.S.C. § 362(c)(4)(B) shall file a motion styled

petition was filed, the motion must be accompanied by a separate motion for expedited hearing.

(d)  Motions for Orders Confirming Termination of Automatic Stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(c).

A party in interest requesting an order under 11 U.S.C. § 362(j) shall file a verified motion
styled “Motion for Order Confirming Termination of Automatic Stay Under 11 U.S.C. § 362(c).”  The
verified motion shall specifically allege the grounds for contending that the stay has terminated
under the provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 362(c). The motion shall be served on the debtor, the trustee,
the U.S. trustee, and all creditors and parties in interest.
