Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/?q=judge/district-judge-robert-schroeder-iii) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/RS%20-%20STANDING_ORDER_-_Notice_of_Readiness_for_Scheduling_Conference_Jan_15_2016.pdf (sha256 c8b6042786a4, pdf, 1 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/RS%20-%20STANDING_ORDER_-_Mock_Juries_Jan_11_2016.pdf (sha256 faba38fa0e4a, pdf, 1 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/RS%20-%20STANDING_ORDER_-_Courtesy_Copy_Exemption_Jan_11_2016.pdf (sha256 68f9b7dc02e3, pdf, 1 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/RS%20-%20STANDING_ORDER_-_Order_on_Dismissal_of_Actions_Jan_15_2016.pdf (sha256 00971e525ce5, pdf, 1 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/STANDING_ORDER_-_Bill_of_Costs_Jan_13_2016.pdf (sha256 bf1758704bb6, pdf, 5 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/RS%20-%202016-06-02_Standing_Order_Regarding_Protection_of_Proprietary_Information.pdf (sha256 de212aff6d91, scanned PDF without a reliable text layer, 4 pages, transcribed by eye from the page images in two passes, 0 second-pass corrections); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/RS%20-%20Standing_Order_re_Meet_and_Confer.pdf (sha256 97a99a973cfb, scanned PDF without a reliable text layer, 4 pages, transcribed by eye from the page images in two passes, 0 second-pass corrections). Whole sentences with mandatory language, verbatim, whitespace normalised only; grouped by topic as the Florida federal lane (2026-09-14). Custody: BenchPath's private custody store. Documents without a reliable text layer were transcribed by eye from their page images (vision lane, two passes; BenchPath's private custody store); a sentence with any illegible word is not published. Corrected 2026-09-26: the Texas lane's extractor had published a sentence cut at a semicolon (a list stem with only its first item, or a clause whose sentence continued) or a recital; such a sentence now publishes whole -- through the end of the enumeration, verbatim -- or not at all. Regrouped 2026-09-26: the topic map's Mediation pattern matched 'mediate' inside words such as 'immediately', 'intermediate' and 'remediation', so sentences using those words were filed under Mediation & settlement; it now matches whole words only. The sentences are unchanged; only their topic page changed.
