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-STANDING_ORDER_-_Order_on_Settlements_Jan_12_2016.pdf (sha256 42600fe41ace, pdf, 2 pages). 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. 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.
