2 verbatim chambers requirements from Judge Rolando Olvera's published procedures (emergency motions).
United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas — Judge Rolando Olvera's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Ex parte applications for restraining orders will NOT be considered by the Court unless the specific requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) 65(b), have been satisfied.
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_%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. 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.
