Welcome to the Eastern District of Texas

NextGen ECF is now LIVE for the Eastern District of Texas!

Registration is now open for the 2025 EDTX Bench Bar Conference

System Security Update: NextGen users must enroll for multifactor authentication (MFA) by 12/31/2025.
As PACER will begin randomly requiring enrollment in August 2025, users are encouraged to voluntarily enroll beginning 5/11/2025. Instructions are available here.
(Users using third-party software for filing should ensure MFA is supported by the software before enrolling to avoid disruption in business processes.)

Important Notice for Individuals Attempting to Pay a U.S. District Court Violation Notice On-line:
A fake website is currently impersonating www.cvb.uscourts.gov and may attempt to collect personal or financial information fraudulently. The only official website for paying a U.S. District Court Violation Notice is www.cvb.uscourts.gov. If you are paying online, please verify the web address carefully and report suspicious activity to the Central Violations Bureau (CVB) at 800-827-2982 or info@cvb.uscourts.gov. Alternatively, you may pay a ticket over the phone by calling the CVB at the same number.

Important Information:
Please continue to submit CJA vouchers so that payments can be disbursed as soon as funding is available. Keep updated on the evolving situation.
