7 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge John A. Kazen's published procedures (filing).
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.
Letters to the Court may be hand-delivered, sent by First Class Mail to Chambers, or transmitted by email, with copies to all parties served prior to or at the time of filing.
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. 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.
