2 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge Richard W. Bennett's published procedures (hearings & scheduling).
United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas — Judge Richard W. Bennett's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Counsel and pro-se litigants shall notify the Case Manager immediately and in writing if an issue set for hearing or a case set for trial is resolved in advance of the date and time for the scheduled appearance.
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/page/united-states-magistrate-judge-richard-w-bennett) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/Court_Procedures_for_Judge_Bennett.pdf (sha256 0e4aa5266f85, pdf, 11 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.
