3 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge Terry R. Means's published procedures (discovery & conferral).
United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas — Judge Terry R. Means's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
If the parties have already submitted a Rule 26(f) written report that outlines their proposed discovery plan by the time the OSJSR issues, they must nevertheless submit the Joint Status Report required by the OSJSR, because the OSJSR requests additional information not required by FRCP 26(f).
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txnd.uscourts.gov/judge/senior-district-judge-terry-means) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txnd.uscourts.gov/judge/senior-district-judge-terry-means (sha256 10ecd898d122, inline, - pages).
