11 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge Kenneth M. Hoyt's published procedures (trial procedures).
United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas — Judge Kenneth M. Hoyt's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
The Joint Pretrial Order is due per docket call instructions or 10 days prior to trial.
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/Judge%20Hoyt%20Procedures%202026.pdf (sha256 bcb41add9c46, pdf, 21 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.
