9 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge Rodney Gilstrap's published procedures (discovery & conferral).
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas — Judge Rodney Gilstrap's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Further, if there are any areas of disagreement the parties shall meet, confer, and be prepared to compromise, making every effort to submit an “agreed” bill of costs to the Court.
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/?q=judge/district-judge-rodney-gilstrap) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/STANDING_ORDER_FOR_FEES_AND_COSTS.pdf (sha256 a48f2832c75a, pdf, 5 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/Standing_Order_Regarding_Motions_Under_35_USC_101.pdf (sha256 05456f1f0e77, pdf, 3 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/2016-06-02_Standing_Order_Regarding_Protection_of_Proprietary_Information.pdf (sha256 5e8f460a6387, 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/Standing%20Order%20Regarding%20Meet%20and%20Confer%20Obligations%20for%20Discovery%20Dispute.pdf (sha256 f2a421d968d0, pdf, 3 pages); https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/8.22.25%20First%20Amended%20Non-Patent%20Standing%20Limine%20Order.pdf (sha256 fd5db55a73cd, pdf, 3 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. 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.
