LR 56.6 — Requirement of Appendix; Appendix Requirements: the court's own rule, verbatim from LOCAL CIVIL RULES OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS (Effective September 1, 2026), official PDF, sha-custodied. Court-level requirement: applies in every case before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas alongside the federal rules and any judge-specific procedures.
(a) Appendix Required. A party who relies on materials in the record—including depositions, documents, electronically stored information, affidavits, declarations, stipulations, admissions, interrogatory answers, or other materials— to support or oppose a motion for summary judgment must include the materials in an appendix. (b) Appendix Requirements. (1) The appendix must be assembled as a self-contained document, separate from the motion and brief or response and brief. (2) Each page of the appendix must measure 8½ x 11 inches. Non-documentary materials (e.g., videotapes and other physical materials) and oversized materials (e.g., maps and schematic drawings) that are included in the appendix must be placed in an envelope that measures 9 x 12 inches. (3) Each page of the appendix must be numbered legibly in the lower, right-hand corner. The first page must be numbered as “1,” and succeeding pages must be numbered sequentially through the last page of the entire appendix (i.e., the numbering system must not re-start with each succeeding document in the appendix). An envelope that contains non-documentary or oversized materials must be numbered as if it were a single page.
