45 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge John A. Kazen's published procedures (chambers procedures).
United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas — Judge John A. Kazen's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Attachments THESE PROCEDURES MUST BE SERVED WITH THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR REMOVAL PAPERS and are to be used in conjunction with the Local Rules for the Southern District of Texas and not as a substitute for them.
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/page/united-states-district-judge-john-kazen) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/Civ%20Court%20Procedures_JAK_April%202026%20v2%20Final.pdf (sha256 2cadda18e0dc, pdf, 25 pages); https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/Crim_Court_Rules_JAK_June_2025.pdf (sha256 86cff4a3b093, pdf, 18 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. 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.
