Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/page/united-states-district-judge-rolando-olvera) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/Judge_Olvera_Local_Rules_%28Civil%29_5-22-26.docx (sha256 826bc76d6a35, docx, - pages); https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/Judge_Olvera_Local_Rules_%28Civil%29_5-22-26.pdf (sha256 9ee5e415535d, pdf, 36 pages); https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/Judge_Olvera_Local_Rules_%28Criminal%29_04-2-25.docx (sha256 42e2323dc3aa, docx, - pages); https://www.txs.uscourts.gov/sites/txs/files/Judge_Olvera_Local_Rules_%28Criminal%29_04-2-25.pdf (sha256 ad25b9f1f577, pdf, 13 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.
