4 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge John D. Rainey's published procedures (chambers procedures).
United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas — Judge John D. Rainey's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Applications for restraining orders or other immediate relief must be made through the office of the Clerk.
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/page/district-magistrate-judges-procedures-schedules) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/2018.4.16.JDR%20Updated%20Proc%20Manual.pdf (sha256 5259dce0da56, scanned PDF without a reliable text layer, 7 pages, transcribed by eye from the page images in two passes, 0 second-pass corrections). 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. 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.
